T50.A93Poisoning by other bacterial vaccines, assault

T50.A93 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by other bacterial vaccines, assault. 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.A9, choose T50.A93 (Poisoning by other bacterial vaccines, assault) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: poisoning by other bacterial vaccines, accidental (unintentional) (T50.A91), poisoning by other bacterial vaccines, intentional self-harm (T50.A92), poisoning by other bacterial vaccines, undetermined (T50.A94), adverse effect of other bacterial vaccines (T50.A95) and underdosing of other bacterial vaccines (T50.A96).

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.
