T39.1X3S is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by 4-Aminophenol derivatives, assault, sequela. The 7th character S marks it as a sequela code, which reports a problem that remains after the original condition has resolved. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026) and groups to MS-DRG 922 through 923. The code is exempt from POA reporting. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Poisoning/toxic effect/adverse effects/underdosing, sequela.

Coding GuidelinesGuidance

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 nonopioid analgesics, antipyretics and antirheumatics (T39). Use the following options for the applicable episode of care:

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela

Clinical InformationClinical

  • Acetaminophen

    analgesic antipyretic derivative of acetanilide. it has weak anti-inflammatory properties and is used as a common analgesic, but may cause liver, blood cell, and kidney damage.

  • Arylsulfotransferase

    a sulfotransferase that catalyzes the sulfation of a phenol in the presence of 3'-phosphoadenylylsulfate as sulfate donor to yield an aryl sulfate and adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate. a number of aromatic compounds can act as acceptors; however, organic hydroxylamines are not substrates. sulfate conjugation by this enzyme is a major pathway for the biotransformation of phenolic and catechol drugs as well as neurotransmitters. ec 2.8.2.1.

  • Cytochrome P-450 CYP1A2

    a cytochrome p450 enzyme subtype that has specificity for relatively planar heteroaromatic small molecules, such as caffeine and acetaminophen.

  • Phenacetin

    a phenylacetamide that was formerly used in analgesics but nephropathy and methemoglobinemia led to its withdrawal from the market. (from smith and reynard, textbook of pharmacology,1991, p431)

Questions About T39.1X3SOverview

Is T39.1X3S (Poisoning by 4-Aminophenol derivatives, assault) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report poisoning by 4-Aminophenol derivatives, assault, sequela on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

What does the 7th character S in T39.1X3S mean?

The final character S makes this a sequela code: it reports a lingering problem that remains after the poisoning by 4-Aminophenol derivatives, assault itself has resolved, not the original event.

What MS-DRG does T39.1X3S group to?

When poisoning by 4-Aminophenol derivatives, assault, sequela is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 922, 923, with relative weights from 1.0177 to 1.7494 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Is T39.1X3S exempt from POA reporting?

Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for poisoning by 4-Aminophenol derivatives, assault, sequela on inpatient claims.

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of T39.1X3S?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, poisoning by 4-Aminophenol derivatives, assault, sequela converts to ICD-9-CM 909.0 (late eff drug poisoning) and E969 (late effect assault). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
