About T46.5X3

T46.5X3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by other antihypertensive drugs, assault. It belongs to category T46 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of agents primarily affecting the cardiovascular system), 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 T46.5X, choose T46.5X3 (Poisoning by other antihypertensive drugs, assault) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: poisoning by other antihypertensive drugs, accidental (unintentional) (T46.5X1), poisoning by other antihypertensive drugs, intentional self-harm (T46.5X2), poisoning by other antihypertensive drugs, undetermined (T46.5X4), adverse effect of other antihypertensive drugs (T46.5X5) and underdosing of other antihypertensive drugs (T46.5X6).

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.
