2027 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T45.1X5SAdverse effect of antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs, sequela
T45.1X5S is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for adverse effect of antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs, 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 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 922 through 923. The code is not accepted as a principal diagnosis by the Medicare Code Editor and 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 an adverse effect of a drug that has been correctly prescribed and properly administered, assign the appropriate code for the nature of the adverse effect followed by the appropriate code for the adverse effect of the drug.
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of primarily systemic and hematological agents, not elsewhere classified (T45). Use the following options for the applicable episode of care:
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela

Instructional NotesGuidance
Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to T45.1X5S: its own notes plus those printed at T45.1, T45, block T36-T50, and Chapter 19. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.
Includes
Further defines, or gives examples of, the content of the category.
- adverse effect of correct substance properly administered
- poisoning by overdose of substance
- poisoning by wrong substance given or taken in error
- underdosing by (inadvertently) (deliberately) taking less substance than prescribed or instructed
Excludes1
Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.
- toxic reaction to local anesthesia in pregnancy (O29.3-)
Excludes2
Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.
Code First
The underlying condition named in the note is sequenced before this code.
Use Additional Code
Add a second code, after this one, to fully describe the condition.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Notes
General instructions on how these codes are used.
- Use secondary code(s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code
- The chapter uses the S-section for coding different types of injuries related to single body regions and the T-section to cover injuries to unspecified body regions as well as poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes.
7th Character
Every code in the category takes a 7th character from the listed values, with the placeholder X filling any empty positions before it.
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T45
- Ainitial encounter
- Dsubsequent encounter
- Ssequela this code

Questions About T45.1X5SOverview
What is the ICD-10 code for adverse effect of antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs, sequela?
The ICD-10-CM code for adverse effect of antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs, sequela is T45.1X5S (sometimes written as T451X5S). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is T45.1X5S (Adverse effect of antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report adverse effect of antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs, sequela on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What does the 7th character S in T45.1X5S mean?
The final character S makes this a sequela code: it reports a lingering problem that remains after the adverse effect of antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs itself has resolved, not the original event.
What MS-DRG does T45.1X5S group to?
On inpatient claims, adverse effect of antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs, sequela maps to MS-DRG 923, 922, with relative weights from 0.9980 to 1.6248 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Can T45.1X5S be a principal diagnosis?
No. The Medicare Code Editor rejects this code as a principal diagnosis because adverse effect of antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs, sequela describes a circumstance that influences health status rather than a current illness. Report it as a secondary diagnosis.
