T40.693Poisoning by other narcotics, assault

T40.693 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by other narcotics, assault. 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T40.69, choose T40.693 (Poisoning by other narcotics, assault) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: poisoning by other narcotics, accidental (unintentional) (T40.691), poisoning by other narcotics, intentional self-harm (T40.692), poisoning by other narcotics, undetermined (T40.694), adverse effect of other narcotics (T40.695) and underdosing of other narcotics (T40.696).

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.
