Patient EducationClinical
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas that has no odor or color. But it is very dangerous. It can cause sudden illness and death. CO is found in combustion fumes, such as those made by cars and trucks, lanterns, stoves, gas ranges and heating systems. CO from these fumes can build up in places that don't have a good flow of fresh air.

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report toxic effect of carbon monoxide from other source, accidental (unintentional), sequela on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What does the 7th character S in T58.8X1S mean?
The final character S makes this a sequela code: it reports a lingering problem that remains after the toxic effect of carbon monoxide from other source, accidental (unintentional) itself has resolved, not the original event.
What MS-DRG does T58.8X1S group to?
When toxic effect of carbon monoxide from other source, 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 T58.8X1S exempt from POA reporting?

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of T58.8X1S?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, toxic effect of carbon monoxide from other source, accidental (unintentional), sequela converts to ICD-9-CM 909.1 (late eff nonmed substanc). 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.
