About T47.2X5
T47.2X5 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for adverse effect of stimulant laxatives. It belongs to category T47 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of agents primarily affecting the gastrointestinal 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 T47.2X (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of stimulant laxatives), T47.2X5 is specifically for adverse effect of stimulant laxatives. Related codes cover poisoning by stimulant laxatives, accidental (unintentional) (T47.2X1), poisoning by stimulant laxatives, intentional self-harm (T47.2X2), poisoning by stimulant laxatives, assault (T47.2X3), poisoning by stimulant laxatives, undetermined (T47.2X4) and underdosing of stimulant laxatives (T47.2X6).
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.
