About T50.902
T50.902 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances, intentional self-harm. It belongs to category T50 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of diuretics and other and unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances), 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 T50.90, choose T50.902 (Poisoning by unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances, intentional self-harm) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: poisoning by unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances, accidental (unintentional) (T50.901), poisoning by unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances, assault (T50.903), poisoning by unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances, undetermined (T50.904), adverse effect of unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances (T50.905) and underdosing of unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances (T50.906).
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.
