Phenytoin toxicity can occur from an increase in the daily dose of phenytoin, changes in the formulations or brands as well as changes in the frequency of administration. It can also occur when patients are started on new medications that interact with the metabolism or binding capacity of phenytoin to plasma proteins.
3 Generalized idiopathic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes.
ICD-10 code R27. 0 for Ataxia, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Abnormal finding of blood chemistry, unspecified The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R79. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

If you document the word “seizure”, the patient will be coded with R56. 9, unspecified convulsions, even if you meant that the patient has epilepsy. If you document “seizure disorder” or “recurrent seizures”, the patient will be coded with G40.
Ataxia describes poor muscle control that causes clumsy voluntary movements. It may cause difficulty with walking and balance, hand coordination, speech and swallowing, and eye movements. Ataxia usually results from damage to the part of the brain that controls muscle coordination (cerebellum) or its connections.
Ataxia means without coordination. People with ataxia lose muscle control in their arms and legs. This may lead to a lack of balance, coordination, and trouble walking. Ataxia may affect the fingers, hands, arms, legs, body, speech, and even eye movements.
81 for Cerebellar ataxia in diseases classified elsewhere is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
ICD-10 code R79. 89 for Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-10 code Z79. 899 for Other long term (current) drug therapy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .

Basically, code 780.39 is for the single episode of a seizure. 780.33, Posttraumatic seizures. Recurrent seizure disorder NOS. There are two main categories of epilepsy: partial (also called local or focal) and generalized.
ICD-10-CM Code for Epilepsy and recurrent seizures G40.
Epilepsy, unspecified, not intractable These episodes may or may not be associated with loss of consciousness or convulsions. A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge.
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. Type 1 Excludes.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T42.0X5A became effective on October 1, 2021.
T42- Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of antiepileptic, sedative- hypnotic and antiparkinsonism drugs
The sequela code may also be expanded at the fourth, fifth, or sixth character levels to include the manifestation
The ‘S’ is added only to the injury code, not the sequela code. The seventh character ‘S’ identifies the injury responsible for the sequela. The specific type of sequela (e.g. scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code.”.
There is no time limit on when a sequela code can be used. The residual effect may be present early or may occur months or years later. Two codes are generally required: one describing the nature of the sequela and one for the sequela. The code for the acute phase of the illness or injury is never reported with a code for the late effect.
Rationale: Scar contractures due to burn injury are reported with code L90.5 that is the first-listed or principal diagnosis and the burn injury is reported as a secondary code to identify the cause of the sequela.
S93.412S Sprain of calcaneofibular ligament of the left ankle, sequela
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

ICD Code T42.3X4 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use specify a 7th character that describes the diagnosis 'poisoning by barbiturates, undetermined' in more detail. The 7th characters that can be added, and the resulting billable codes, are as follows:
The ICD code T423 is used to code Barbiturate overdose. A barbiturate overdose results when a person takes excessive doses of barbiturates. Symptoms of an overdose typically include sluggishness, incoordination, difficulty in thinking, slowness of speech, faulty judgment, drowsiness, shallow breaths, and staggering.
