T40.996Underdosing of other psychodysleptics [hallucinogens]

T40.996 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for underdosing of other psychodysleptics [hallucinogens]. 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 T40.99, choose T40.996 (Underdosing of other psychodysleptics [hallucinogens]) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: poisoning by other psychodysleptics [hallucinogens], accidental (unintentional) (T40.991), poisoning by other psychodysleptics [hallucinogens], intentional self-harm (T40.992), poisoning by other psychodysleptics [hallucinogens], assault (T40.993), poisoning by other psychodysleptics [hallucinogens], undetermined (T40.994) and adverse effect of other psychodysleptics [hallucinogens] (T40.995).

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 changed in FY2020 (title revised).
