About T41

T41 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of anesthetics and therapeutic gases. It belongs to 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.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: T41.0 (anesthetics), T41.1 (anesthetics), T41.2 (anesthetics), T41.3 (anesthetics), T41.4 (anesthetic) and T41.5 (gases).

Don't report T41 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: benzodiazepines (T42.4-), cocaine (T40.5-), complications of anesthesia during pregnancy (O29.-), complications of anesthesia during labor and delivery (O74.-) and 2 more.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
