About T43.691
T43.691 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by other psychostimulants, accidental (unintentional). 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 T43.69, choose T43.691 (Poisoning by other psychostimulants, accidental (unintentional)) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: poisoning by other psychostimulants, intentional self-harm (T43.692), poisoning by other psychostimulants, assault (T43.693), poisoning by other psychostimulants, undetermined (T43.694), adverse effect of other psychostimulants (T43.695) and underdosing of other psychostimulants (T43.696).
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.
