How to code poisoning?

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.

Does ICD-10 supersede UHDDS?

My rationale is that ICD-10 conventions themselves supersede even the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) guidelines in the hierarchy of coding. The UHDDS definitions are the standards for interpreting the guidelines, but I do not believe they can directly contradict an instructional note in the ICD-10 system itself which includes those “code first” type of instructions.

Can you have rhabdomyolysis and AKI as the principal diagnosis?

If the doctor documented that the patient clearly would not have been admitted for the overdose and clearly was only being admitted for the Rhabdomyolysis/AKI, then you would have additional support for placing Rhabdomyolysis or AKI as the principal diagnosis. However, the way the physician listed the diagnoses in his or her discharge summary, I don’t think you are on solid grounds for making that suggestion.

Is the AKI a secondary diagnosis?

A: In this case, the Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting suggest that the poisoning from the heroin overdose should be sequenced as the principal diagnosis. The remaining sequela that came about after the overdose would be listed as secondary diagnoses. Make sure the AKI gets included in the final code set and doesn’t get skipped because it was omitted from the discharge summary.
