Toxic effect of ingested (parts of) plant(s), slf-hrm, init

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse health effects resulting from the purposeful ingestion of plant material, not otherwise specified, with the intent to harm themselves. The symptoms experienced are directly attributable to the toxic properties of the ingested plant.

Apply this code when a patient is admitted or seen for acute poisoning due to intentionally consuming an unknown or unspecified toxic plant. This includes situations where the patient admits to self-harm via plant ingestion, or when clinical evidence strongly suggests such intent.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific toxic plant if known (e.g., T62.0X1A for ingested mushrooms).
• Use a secondary code for any associated mental health conditions, such as depression or suicidal ideation.
• The "A" in the seventh character indicates an initial encounter for this condition.
