T43.62Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of amphetamines

T43.62 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of amphetamines. It belongs to category T43 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of psychotropic drugs, not elsewhere classified), 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.

Within T43.6 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of psychostimulants), T43.62 is specifically for poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of amphetamines. Related codes cover by, adverse effect of and underdosing of unspecified psychostimulant (T43.60), by, adverse effect of and underdosing of caffeine (T43.61), by, adverse effect of and underdosing of methylphenidate (T43.63), by ecstasy (T43.64), by, adverse effect of and underdosing of methamphetamines (T43.65) and by, adverse effect of and underdosing of other psychostimulants (T43.69).

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.
