Toxic eff of cntct w oth venom marine animals, slf-hrm, sqla

This code signifies a long-term or late-appearing health problem resulting from a deliberate act of self-harm involving exposure to venom from marine animals other than jellyfish. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but residual effects or complications persist.

Apply this code when documenting conditions such as chronic pain, neurological deficits, scarring, or organ damage that are directly attributable to a past intentional self-inflicted marine animal envenomation. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the acute phase of the poisoning has passed.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional self-harm event involving marine animal venom.
• Do not use for acute toxic effects or accidental exposures; those require different codes.
