Toxic effect of cntct w venom marine plant, slf-hrm, sequela

This code signifies the long-term or residual effects resulting from a deliberate act of self-harm involving exposure to a venomous marine plant. It indicates that the initial acute injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience lasting health problems directly attributable to the toxic contact.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic symptoms, disabilities, or complications that are a direct consequence of a past intentional self-inflicted injury from a venomous marine plant. This would include conditions like persistent skin lesions, neurological deficits, or organ damage that developed after the initial acute toxic event.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequelae being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional self-harm event involving a venomous marine plant.
• Do not use for acute toxic effects; this code is exclusively for residual conditions.
