About T36.0X5
T36.0X5 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for adverse effect of penicillins. It belongs to category T36 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of systemic antibiotics), block T36-T50 (poisoning by, adverse effects of and underdosing of drugs, medicaments and biological substances) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.
Within T36.0X (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of penicillins), T36.0X5 is specifically for adverse effect of penicillins. Related codes cover poisoning by penicillins, accidental (unintentional) (T36.0X1), poisoning by penicillins, intentional self-harm (T36.0X2), poisoning by penicillins, assault (T36.0X3), poisoning by penicillins, undetermined (T36.0X4) and underdosing of penicillins (T36.0X6).
Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
