R50.2 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of drug induced fever. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. Fever, also known as pyrexia and febrile response, is defined as having a temperature above the normal range due to an increase in the body's temperature set-point.

Acute fever (or 'acute febrile syndrome', a rapid onset of fever and symptoms such as headache, chills or muscle and joint pains) is common in the tropics and sub-tropics. Frequently, such fevers resolve without treatment, but fever may also herald the onset of severe, potentially fatal illness.
Most healthcare providers consider a fever to be 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. A person with a temperature of 99.6°F to 100.3°F has a low-grade fever. High fevers may bring on seizures or confusion in children. It's not how high the temperature is but how fast the temperature goes up that causes a seizure.
Article Sections. Fever of unknown origin (FUO) in adults is defined as a temperature higher than 38.3 C (100.9 F) that lasts for more than three weeks with no obvious source despite appropriate investigation.
Fever in which the etiology cannot be ascertained. Fever: a documented body temperature higher than 38 degrees c., or 100.4 degrees f.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R50.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A disorder characterized by elevation of the body's temperature above the upper limit of normal.
The elevation of the body's temperature above the upper limit of normal, usually taken as 37.7 degrees c.
There is not a single agreed-upon upper limit for normal temperature with sources using values between 37.5 and 38.3 °C (99.5 and 100.9 ° F). The increase in set-point triggers increased muscle contraction and causes a feeling of cold. This results in greater heat production and efforts to conserve heat. When the set-point temperature returns to normal a person feels hot, becomes flushed, and may begin to sweat. Rarely a fever may trigger a febrile seizure. This is more common in young children. Fevers do not typically go higher than 41 to 42 °C (105.8 to 107.6 °F).
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
Use Additional Code note means a second code must be used in conjunction with this code. Codes with this note are Etiology codes and must be followed by a Manifestation code or codes.

R50.81 describes the manifestation of an underlying disease, not the disease itself.
The fever of unknown origin is coded with the codes under the category- R50. This category also includes – persistent fever, fever with chills and rigor. The most common underlying causes of fever are infections. In the ICD-10 manual alphabetic index the following infections are classified under fever-.
Fever. Fever, medically known as pyrexia is a condition or a symptom that arises due to a temporary increase in body temperature above the normal. The normal body temperature falls between 97 F to 99 F, 98.6 F being the average and it is controlled by the “thermostat” of our body, the Hypothalamus.
Increase in body temperature can be caused by a virus, a bacterial infection, heat exhaustion, malignant tumors, inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, certain immunizations and some medications.
