Toxic effect of venom of centipede/millipede, slf-hrm, init

This code signifies a harmful reaction resulting from exposure to venom from centipedes or venomous millipedes, specifically when the exposure was self-inflicted with intent to cause harm. The patient is in the initial phase of treatment for this toxic effect.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient intentionally exposed themselves to centipede or venomous millipede venom, such as in a suicide attempt or self-mutilation. This code is appropriate for the first encounter where the condition is diagnosed and treated.

• Always sequence this code first when it represents the primary reason for the encounter.
• Requires additional codes for any associated mental health conditions, such as depression or suicidal ideation.
• Ensure documentation specifies "intentional self-harm" and the "initial encounter" to support this specific code.
