Toxic effect of contact w sea anemone, assault, subs encntr

This code signifies a harmful reaction resulting from direct physical contact with a sea anemone, where the exposure was intentionally inflicted by another person. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for the initial injury, after the acute phase of treatment.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing treatment, such as wound care, management of persistent symptoms, or follow-up appointments, for a patient whose sea anemone envenomation was due to an assault. This would be used after the initial emergency treatment has been rendered.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the specific manifestation of the toxic effect (e.g., dermatitis, allergic reaction).
• Ensure documentation clearly supports the "assault" intent and the "subsequent encounter" status.
• Do not use for accidental exposures or self-inflicted injuries.
