Toxic effects should be sequenced first, followed by code(s) for all manifestations. When no intent is indicated, you should code as 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.
The sequencing for a toxic effect of substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source (T51-T65) is the same as for coding poisonings. Poisoning codes have an associated intent: accidental, intentional self-harm, assault, and undetermined. Use additional code(s) for all manifestations of poisonings.
