T49.3X4Poisoning by emollients, demulcents and protectants, undetermined

T49.3X4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by emollients, demulcents and protectants, undetermined. It belongs to category T49 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of topical agents primarily affecting skin and mucous membrane and by ophthalmological, otorhinorlaryngological and dental drugs), 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 T49.3X (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of emollients, demulcents and protectants), T49.3X4 is specifically for poisoning by emollients, demulcents and protectants, undetermined. Related codes cover poisoning by emollients, demulcents and protectants, accidental (unintentional) (T49.3X1), poisoning by emollients, demulcents and protectants, intentional self-harm (T49.3X2), poisoning by emollients, demulcents and protectants, assault (T49.3X3), adverse effect of emollients, demulcents and protectants (T49.3X5) and underdosing of emollients, demulcents and protectants (T49.3X6).

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.
