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

This code signifies the long-term or residual effects resulting from a deliberate act of self-harm involving exposure to the venom of centipedes or venomous millipedes. It indicates that the patient intentionally subjected themselves to the venom, and the current clinical presentation is a consequence of that past event. These sequelae can manifest in various ways, depending on the venom's properties and the individual's reaction.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic or lasting health problems directly attributable to a prior, intentional self-inflicted centipede or venomous millipede envenomation. This applies to situations where the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, but ongoing medical issues persist. Examples include persistent neurological deficits, chronic pain, or dermatological changes stemming from the initial self-harm incident.

• Always ensure documentation clearly specifies "intentional self-harm" as the mechanism of injury for the initial envenomation.
• This "S" code indicates a sequela; it should be used for conditions that are residual effects, not for the acute poisoning itself.
• Code any specific residual conditions (e.g., chronic pain, neuropathy) in addition to this sequela code.
