Toxic effect of contact w oth venom amphib, slf-hrm, sequela

This code signifies the long-term or residual effects resulting from a deliberate act of self-harm involving contact with the venom of an amphibian not otherwise specified. These sequelae can include chronic pain, neurological deficits, skin changes, or organ damage that persists after the initial acute phase of the poisoning has resolved.

Apply this code when documenting the lasting health problems stemming from a patient's intentional self-exposure to amphibian venom. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the primary focus is managing these chronic conditions, not the initial acute poisoning. It should be used after the acute phase of the toxic effect has passed.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional self-harm event involving amphibian venom.
• Do not use this code for acute poisoning; reserve it strictly for residual effects.
