T40.2XPoisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of other opioids

T40.2X is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of other opioids. It belongs to category T40 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of narcotics and psychodysleptics [hallucinogens]), 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 6 subcodes must be used instead.

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.
