About T45.2X1

T45.2X1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by vitamins, accidental (unintentional). It belongs to category T45 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of primarily systemic and hematological agents, 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 T45.2X (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of vitamins), T45.2X1 is specifically for poisoning by vitamins, accidental (unintentional).
