Toxic effect of fiberglass, intentional self-harm, subs

This code signifies a harmful physiological reaction resulting from deliberate exposure to fiberglass, where the intent was to cause self-injury. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for the initial poisoning event, rather than the initial treatment.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing management, monitoring, or treatment for a patient who intentionally ingested, inhaled, or otherwise exposed themselves to fiberglass with suicidal or self-harming intent. This would include follow-up appointments for organ damage, respiratory issues, or skin irritation stemming from the initial self-poisoning.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient's intent was self-harm, not accidental or assault.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter; for the initial treatment, a different 7th character would be used.
• Code any specific manifestations or complications of the fiberglass toxicity (e.g., pneumonitis, dermatitis) in addition to this code.
