About T37.8X2
T37.8X2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by other specified systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics, intentional self-harm. It belongs to category T37 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of other systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics), 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 T37.8X, choose T37.8X2 (Poisoning by other specified systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics, intentional self-harm) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: poisoning by other specified systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics, accidental (unintentional) (T37.8X1), poisoning by other specified systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics, assault (T37.8X3), poisoning by other specified systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics, undetermined (T37.8X4), adverse effect of other specified systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics (T37.8X5) and underdosing of other specified systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics (T37.8X6).
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.
