Specific Coding Applicable to Toxic effect of corrosive organic compounds, undetermined

Non-specific codes like T54.1X4 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 toxic effect of corrosive organic compounds, undetermined:

  • Use T54.1X4A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T54.1X4D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T54.1X4S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

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.
