About T75

T75 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified effects of other external causes. It belongs to block T66-T78 (other and unspecified effects of external causes) 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 6 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: T75.0 (lightning), T75.1 (submersion), T75.2 (vibration), T75.3 (sickness), T75.4 (electrocution) and T75.8 (causes).

Don't report T75 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: adverse effects NEC (T78.-).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of T75, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: burns (electric) (T20-T31).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
