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 psychotropic drugs, not elsewhere classified (T43). Use the following options for the applicable episode of care:

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

Questions About T43.691SOverview

Is T43.691S a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report poisoning by other psychostimulants, accidental (unintentional), sequela on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

What does the 7th character S in T43.691S mean?

The final character S makes this a sequela code: it reports a lingering problem that remains after the poisoning by other psychostimulants, accidental (unintentional) itself has resolved, not the original event.

What MS-DRG does T43.691S group to?

When poisoning by other psychostimulants, accidental (unintentional), 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 T43.691S 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 other psychostimulants, accidental (unintentional), sequela on inpatient claims.

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of T43.691S?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, poisoning by other psychostimulants, accidental (unintentional), sequela converts to ICD-9-CM 909.0 (late eff drug poisoning) and E929.2 (late eff acc poisoning). 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.
