- ICD-10-CM Code:
- T46.0X3
- ICD-10 Code for:
- Poisoning by cardi-stim glycos/drug simlar act, assault
- Is Billable?
- Not Valid for Submission
- Code Navigator:
T46.0X3 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of poisoning by cardiac-stimulant glycosides and drugs of similar action, assault. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.
Specific Coding Applicable to Poisoning by cardi-stim glycos/drug simlar act, assault
Non-specific codes like T46.0X3 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for poisoning by cardi-stim glycos/drug simlar act, assault:
Clinical Information
Deslanoside
deacetyllanatoside c. a cardiotonic glycoside from the leaves of digitalis lanata.Acetyldigitoxins
cardioactive derivatives of lanatoside a or of digitoxin. they are used for fast digitalization in congestive heart failure.Digitoxin
a cardiac glycoside sometimes used in place of digoxin. it has a longer half-life than digoxin; toxic effects, which are similar to those of digoxin, are longer lasting. (from martindale, the extra pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p665)Acetyldigoxins
alpha- or beta-acetyl derivatives of digoxin or lanatoside c from digitalis lanata. they are better absorbed and longer acting than digoxin and are used in congestive heart failure.Digoxin
a cardiotonic glycoside obtained mainly from digitalis lanata; it consists of three sugars and the aglycone digoxigenin. digoxin has positive inotropic and negative chronotropic activity. it is used to control ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation. its use in congestive heart failure and sinus rhythm is less certain. the margin between toxic and therapeutic doses is small. (from martindale, the extra pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p666)Lanatosides
glycosides from digitalis lanata leaf. lanatoside c has actions similar to digoxin. mixtures of lanatosides a, b, and c have also been used. (from martindale, the extra pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p670)Proscillaridin
a cardiotonic glycoside isolated from scilla maritima var. alba (squill).Strophanthus
a plant genus of the family apocynaceae that contains ouabain cardiac glycosides.
Coding Guidelines
When coding a poisoning or reaction to the improper use of a medication (e.g., overdose, wrong substance given or taken in error, wrong route of administration), first assign the appropriate code from categories T36-T50. The poisoning codes have an associated intent as their 5th or 6th character (accidental, intentional self-harm, assault and undetermined. If the intent of the poisoning is unknown or unspecified, code the intent as accidental intent. The undetermined intent is only for use if the documentation in the record specifies that the intent cannot be determined. Use additional code(s) for all manifestations of poisonings.
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of agents primarily affecting the cardiovascular system (T46). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
Table of Drugs and Chemicals
The code is referenced in the Table of Drugs and Chemicals, this table contains a classification of drugs, industrial solvents, corrosive gases, noxious plants, pesticides, and other toxic agents.
According to ICD-10-CM coding guidelines it is advised to do not code directly from the Table of Drugs and Chemicals, instead always refer back to the Tabular List when doing the initial coding. Each substance in the table is assigned a code according to the poisoning classification and external causes of adverse effects. It is important to use as many codes as necessary to specify all reported drugs, medicinal or chemical substances. If the same diagnosis code describes the causative agent for more than one adverse reaction, poisoning, toxic effect or underdosing, utilize the code only once.
Patient Education
Poisoning
A poison is any substance that is harmful to your body. You might swallow it, inhale it, inject it, or absorb it through your skin. Any substance can be poisonous if too much is taken. Poisons can include:
- Prescription or over-the-counter medicines taken in doses that are too high
- Overdoses of illegal drugs
- Carbon monoxide from gas appliances
- Household products, such as laundry powder or furniture polish
- Pesticides
- Indoor or outdoor plants
- Metals such as lead and mercury
The effects of poisoning range from short-term illness to brain damage, coma, and death. To prevent poisoning it is important to use and store products exactly as their labels say. Keep dangerous products where children can't get to them. Treatment for poisoning depends on the type of poison. If you suspect someone has been poisoned, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222 right away.
