Code Classification

  • Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes
    (S00–T88)
    • Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of drugs, medicaments and biological substances
      (T36-T50)
      • Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of diuretics and other and unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances
        (T50)

T50.1X3 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of poisoning by loop [high-ceiling] diuretics, assault. 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 Poisoning by loop [high-ceiling] diuretics, assault

Non-specific codes like T50.1X3 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 poisoning by loop [high-ceiling] diuretics, assault:

  • Use T50.1X3A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T50.1X3D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T50.1X3S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Clinical Information

  • Bumetanide

    a sulfamyl diuretic.
  • Sodium Potassium Chloride Symporter Inhibitors

    agents that inhibit sodium-potassium-chloride symporters which are concentrated in the thick ascending limb at the junction of the loop of henle and kidney tubules, distal. they act as diuretics. excess use is associated with hypokalemia and hyperglycemia.
  • Solute Carrier Family 12, Member 1

    na-k-cl transporter in the ascending limb of loop of henle. it mediates active reabsorption of sodium chloride and is inhibited by loop diuretics such as furosemide; and bumetanide. mutations in the gene encoding slc12a1 are associated with a bartter syndrome.
  • Solute Carrier Family 12, Member 2

    na-k-cl transporter ubiquitously expressed. it plays a key role in salt secretion in epithelial cells and cell volume regulation in nonepithelial cells.
  • Ethacrynic Acid

    a compound that inhibits symport of sodium, potassium, and chloride primarily in the ascending limb of henle, but also in the proximal and distal tubules. this pharmacological action results in excretion of these ions, increased urinary output, and reduction in extracellular fluid. this compound has been classified as a loop or high ceiling diuretic.
  • Furosemide

    a benzoic-sulfonamide-furan. it is a diuretic with fast onset and short duration that is used for edema and chronic renal insufficiency.
  • Ticrynafen

    a novel diuretic with uricosuric action. it has been proposed as an antihypertensive agent.

Coding Guidelines

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 diuretics and other and unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances (T50). 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.

Patient Education


Poisoning

A poison is any substance that is harmful to your body. You might swallow it, inhale it, inject it, or absorb it through your skin. Any substance can be poisonous if too much is taken. Poisons can include:

  • Prescription or over-the-counter medicines taken in doses that are too high
  • Overdoses of illegal drugs
  • Carbon monoxide from gas appliances
  • Household products, such as laundry powder or furniture polish
  • Pesticides
  • Indoor or outdoor plants
  • Metals such as lead and mercury

The effects of poisoning range from short-term illness to brain damage, coma, and death. To prevent poisoning it is important to use and store products exactly as their labels say. Keep dangerous products where children can't get to them. Treatment for poisoning depends on the type of poison. If you suspect someone has been poisoned, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222 right away.
