Toxic effect of noxious substnc eaten as food, slf-hrm, sqla

This code signifies a long-term consequence or residual condition resulting from a previous act of intentional self-harm involving the ingestion of a harmful substance, other than those specifically classified elsewhere, that was consumed as food. It indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, and the patient is now experiencing lasting effects.

Apply this code when documenting chronic organ damage, neurological deficits, or other persistent health problems directly attributable to a past self-inflicted poisoning from a noxious substance ingested as food. This would be used in follow-up encounters after the initial acute treatment for the toxic effect.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional self-harm event involving ingestion of a noxious substance as food.
• Do not use for acute poisoning or initial treatment; this is exclusively for residual effects.
