Toxic eff of venom of African and Asian snake, slf-hrm, sqla

This code signifies a long-term or residual health problem resulting from a self-inflicted poisoning by the venom of a non-specified African or Asian snake. The initial acute toxic effects have resolved, but the patient continues to experience lasting complications directly attributable to that intentional self-harm event.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic condition or permanent disability that developed as a direct consequence of a past intentional self-poisoning by an African or Asian snake venom (excluding those specifically categorized elsewhere). This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent sequelae, not the initial acute poisoning.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic neurological deficit, tissue necrosis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional self-harm event involving African/Asian snake venom.
• Do not use for acute poisoning or if the intent was accidental or undetermined.
