Toxic effects are coded first using category codes T51 – T65. This block of codes has a guideline that states to use an additional code for associated manifestations. You still must locate these codes using the TDC. For example, rubbing alcohol is a harmful substance that is not meant to be ingested.
Here’s how to tell the difference: Poisoning is the improper use of medication. Toxic effects are also coded using the TDC. Toxic effects occur when a harmful substance is ingested or comes in contact with a person. An adverse effect occurs when a drug has been correctly prescribed and properly administered.
Overdose of a drug (intentional), taken or administered and resulting in toxicity is a poisoning.
Poisoning codes are sequenced first. You can remember this by thinking of what is addressed first when the patient presents: the poisoning. Poisoning can happen in many different circumstances. Four situations are provided in the ICD-10-CM guidelines:
Underdosing is defined as taking less of a drug than is recommended by a provider or the manufacturer.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T59.91XA became effective on October 1, 2021.

Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of drugs, medicaments and biological substances. Code First. , for adverse effects, the nature of the adverse effect, such as:

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T50.901A became effective on October 1, 2021.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
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. Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology.
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.
Noncompliance ( Z91.12 -, Z91.13 - and Z91.14 -) or complication of care ( Y63.6 - Y63.9) codes are to be used with an underdosing code to indicate intent, if known.
Underdosing refers to taking less of a medication than is prescribed by a provider or a manufacturer's instruction . Discontinuing the use of a prescribed medication on the patient's own initiative (not directed by the patient's provider) is also classified as an underdosing. For underdosing, assign the code from categories T36 - T50 (fifth or sixth character “6”).
When coding an adverse effect of a drug that has been correctly prescribed and properly administered, assign the appropriate code for the nature of the adverse effect followed by the appropriate code for the adverse effect of the drug ( T36 - T50 ). The code for the drug should have a 5th or 6th character “5” (for example T36.0X5 -) Examples of the nature of an adverse effect are tachycardia, delirium, gastrointestinal hemorrhaging, vomiting, hypokalemia, hepatitis, renal failure, or respiratory failure.
If the same code would describe the causative agent for more than one adverse reaction, poisoning, toxic effect or underdosing, assign the code only once.
Codes for underdosing should never be assigned as principal or first-listed codes. If a patient has a relapse or exacerbation of the medical condition for which the drug is prescribed because of the reduction in dose, then the medical condition itself should be coded.
