- ICD-10 Code for:
- Toxic effect of other metals, intentional self-harm
- Is Billable?
- Not Valid for Submission
- Code Navigator:
T56.892 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of toxic effect of other metals, intentional self-harm. 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 Toxic effect of other metals, intentional self-harm
Non-specific codes like T56.892 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 other metals, intentional self-harm:
Approximate Synonyms
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
- Intentional lithium and/or lithium compound overdose
- Intentional lithium poisoning
- Lithium and/or lithium compound overdose
- Lithium poisoning
Clinical Information
gamma-Aminobutyric Acid
the most common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.Lithium
an element in the alkali metals family. it has the atomic symbol li, atomic number 3, and atomic weight [6.938; 6.997]. salts of lithium are used in treating bipolar disorder.Lithium Carbonate
a lithium salt, classified as a mood-stabilizing agent. lithium ion alters the metabolism of biogenic monoamines in the central nervous system, and affects multiple neurotransmission systems.Lithium Chloride
a salt of lithium that has been used experimentally as an immunomodulator.Lithium Compounds
inorganic compounds that contain lithium as an integral part of the molecule.Niacin
a water-soluble vitamin of the b complex occurring in various animal and plant tissues. it is required by the body for the formation of coenzymes nad and nadp. it has pellagra-curative, vasodilating, and antilipemic properties.Tellurium
an element that is a member of the chalcogen family. it has the atomic symbol te, atomic number 52, and atomic weight 127.60. it has been used as a coloring agent and in the manufacture of electrical equipment. exposure may cause nausea, vomiting, and cns depression.Nitrogenase
an enzyme system that catalyzes the fixing of nitrogen in soil bacteria and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). ec 1.18.6.1.Vanadium
a metallic element with the atomic symbol v, atomic number 23, and atomic weight 50.94. it is used in the manufacture of vanadium steel. prolonged exposure can lead to chronic intoxication caused by absorption usually via the lungs.Vanadium Compounds
inorganic compounds that contain vanadium as an integral part of the molecule.
Coding Guidelines
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Toxic effect of metals (T56). 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.
