About T53
T53 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for toxic effect of halogen derivatives of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. It belongs to block T51-T65 (toxic effects of substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source) 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 9 subcodes must be used instead.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: T53.0 (tetrachloride), T53.1 (chloroform), T53.2 (trichloroethylene), T53.3 (tetrachloroethylene), T53.4 (dichloromethane), T53.5 (chlorofluorocarbons), T53.6 (hydrocarbons), T53.7 (hydrocarbons) and 1 more.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
