2027 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T59.82Toxic effects of hexamethylene diisocyanate
T59.82 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for toxic effects of hexamethylene diisocyanate, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as T59.821A, T59.821D, T59.821S, and T59.822A.

Specific Coding for Toxic effects of hexamethylene diisocyanateOverview
Non-specific codes like T59.82 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:
T59.821 for Toxic effect of hexamethylene diisocyanate, accidental (unintentional)
Use T59.821A for initial encounter
Use T59.821D for subsequent encounter
Use T59.821S for sequela
T59.822 for Toxic effect of hexamethylene diisocyanate, intentional self-harm
Use T59.822A for initial encounter
Use T59.822D for subsequent encounter
Use T59.822S for sequela
T59.823 for Toxic effect of hexamethylene diisocyanate, assault
Use T59.823A for initial encounter
Use T59.823D for subsequent encounter
Use T59.823S for sequela
T59.824 for Toxic effect of hexamethylene diisocyanate, undetermined
Use T59.824A for initial encounter
Use T59.824D for subsequent encounter
Use T59.824S for sequela
Coding GuidelinesGuidance
When a harmful substance is ingested or comes in contact with a person, this is classified as a toxic effect. Toxic effect codes have an associated intent: accidental, intentional self-harm, assault and undetermined.
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Toxic effect of other gases, fumes and vapors (T59). 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 T59.82: its own notes plus those printed at T59, 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.
- chlorofluorocarbons (T53.5)
- 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 T59
- Ainitial encounter
- Dsubsequent encounter
- Ssequela

Questions About T59.82Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for toxic effects of hexamethylene diisocyanate?
T59.82 (sometimes written as T5982) is the ICD-10-CM category for toxic effects of hexamethylene diisocyanate, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.
Is T59.82 (Toxic effect of other specified gases, fumes and vapors) a billable code?
No. This is a category header that groups the codes for toxic effects of hexamethylene diisocyanate, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for toxic effects of hexamethylene diisocyanate need a more specific code from this category, such as T59.821A, T59.821D, and T59.821S.
Can T59.82 be reported with T53.5?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at T59, which applies to T59.82, lists "chlorofluorocarbons (T53.5)". 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).
