2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T39.2X3SPoisoning by pyrazolone derivatives, assault, sequela
T39.2X3S is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by pyrazolone 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
Aminopyrine
a pyrazolone with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties but has risk of agranulocytosis. a breath test with 13c-labeled aminopyrine has been used as a non-invasive measure of cytochrome p-450 metabolic activity in liver function tests.Aminopyrine N-Demethylase
a pyrazolone with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties but has risk of agranulocytosis. a breath test with 13c-labeled aminopyrine has been used as a non-invasive measure of cytochrome p-450 metabolic activity in liver function tests.Antipyrine
an analgesic and antipyretic that has been given by mouth and as ear drops. antipyrine is often used in testing the effects of other drugs or diseases on drug-metabolizing enzymes in the liver. (from martindale, the extra pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p29)Dipyrone
a drug that has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. it is the sodium sulfonate of aminopyrine.Feprazone
a pyrazole that has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. it has been used in mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders. (from martindale, the extra pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p15)Oxyphenbutazone
a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. oxyphenbutazone eyedrops have been used abroad in the management of postoperative ocular inflammation, superficial eye injuries, and episcleritis. (from ama, drug evaluations annual, 1994, p2000) it had been used by mouth in rheumatic disorders such as ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis but such use is no longer considered justified owing to the risk of severe hematological adverse effects. (from martindale, the extra pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p27)Phenylbutazone
a butyl-diphenyl-pyrazolidinedione that has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic activities. it has been used in ankylosing spondylitis; rheumatoid arthritis; and reactive arthritis.

Questions About T39.2X3SOverview
Is T39.2X3S (Poisoning by pyrazolone derivatives, assault) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report poisoning by pyrazolone derivatives, assault, sequela on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What does the 7th character S in T39.2X3S mean?
The final character S makes this a sequela code: it reports a lingering problem that remains after the poisoning by pyrazolone derivatives, assault itself has resolved, not the original event.
What MS-DRG does T39.2X3S group to?
When poisoning by pyrazolone 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 T39.2X3S 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 pyrazolone derivatives, assault, sequela on inpatient claims.
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of T39.2X3S?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, poisoning by pyrazolone 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.
