About T43.653

T43.653 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by methamphetamines, assault. 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T43.65 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of methamphetamines), T43.653 is specifically for poisoning by methamphetamines, assault.
