2027 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T52.824Toxic effect of cycloparaffins, undetermined
T52.824 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for toxic effect of cycloparaffins, undetermined, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as T52.824A, T52.824D, and T52.824S.

Specific Coding for Toxic effect of cycloparaffins, undeterminedOverview
Coding GuidelinesGuidance
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Toxic effect of organic solvents (T52). 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 T52.824: its own notes plus those printed at T52, block T51-T65, and Chapter 19. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.
Excludes1
Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.
- halogen derivatives of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons (T53.-)
- contact with and (suspected) exposure to toxic substances (Z77.-)
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.
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.
- When no intent is indicated code to accidental. Undetermined intent is only for use when there is specific documentation in the record that the intent of the toxic effect cannot be determined.
- 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 T52
- Ainitial encounter
- Dsubsequent encounter
- Ssequela

Cycloparaffins
alicyclic hydrocarbons in which three or more of the carbon atoms in each molecule are united in a ring structure and each of the ring carbon atoms is joined to two hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups. the simplest members are cyclopropane (c3h6), cyclobutane (c4h8), cyclohexane (c6h12), and derivatives of these such as methylcyclohexane (c6h11ch3).

Questions About T52.824Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for toxic effect of cycloparaffins, undetermined?
T52.824 (sometimes written as T52824) is the ICD-10-CM category for toxic effect of cycloparaffins, undetermined, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.
Is T52.824 (Toxic effects of cycloparaffins) a billable code?
No. This is a category header that groups the codes for toxic effect of cycloparaffins, undetermined, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for toxic effect of cycloparaffins, undetermined need a more specific code from this category, such as T52.824A, T52.824D, and T52.824S.
Can T52.824 be reported with a code from T53?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at T52, which applies to T52.824, lists "halogen derivatives of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons (T53.-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
