Questions About T52.8X2AOverview

Is T52.8X2A a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report toxic effect of other organic solvents, intentional self-harm, initial encounter on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

What does the 7th character A in T52.8X2A mean?

The final character A marks the initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for toxic effect of other organic solvents, intentional self-harm, such as an emergency visit or first evaluation.

What MS-DRG does T52.8X2A group to?

When toxic effect of other organic solvents, intentional self-harm, initial encounter is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 917, 918, with relative weights from 0.8571 to 1.5684 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of T52.8X2A?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, toxic effect of other organic solvents, intentional self-harm, initial encounter converts to ICD-9-CM 982.8 (toxic eff nonpetrol solv) and E950.9 (poison-solid/liquid NEC). 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.
