ICD-10-CM Code T38

Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of hormones and their synthetic substitutes and antagonists, not elsewhere classified
“Hormones and their synthetic substitutes and antag, NEC” for short

T38 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of hormones and their synthetic substitutes and antagonists, not elsewhere classified. It should not be used for HIPAA-covered transactions as a more specific code is available to choose from below.

↓ See below for any exclusions, inclusions or special notations

Excludes1

  • mineralocorticoids and their antagonists (T50.0-)
  • oxytocic hormones (T48.0-)
  • parathyroid hormones and derivatives (T50.9-)

More specific codes
7th Character selection:

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T38

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela
More specific codes:

A more specific code should be selected. ICD-10-CM codes are to be used and reported at their highest number of characters available. A 3-character code is to be used only if it is not further subdivided. A code is invalid if it has not been coded to the full number of characters required for that code, including the 7th character, if applicable.

Coding structure:

ICD-10 code T38 is based on the following Tabular structure:

Chapter 19: Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes
  • Section T36-T50: Poisoning by, adverse effects of and underdosing of drugs, medicaments and biological substances
    • Category T38: Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of hormones and their synthetic substitutes and antagonists, not elsewhere classified
Section T36-T50 — Poisoning by, adverse effects of and underdosing of drugs, medicaments and biological substances

The drug giving rise to the adverse effect should be identified by use of codes from categories T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5.

Use additional code(s) to specify:
manifestations of poisoning
underdosing or failure in dosage during medical and surgical care (Y63.6, Y63.8-Y63.9)
underdosing of medication regimen (Z91.12-, Z91.13-)

Code first  , for adverse effects, the nature of the adverse effect, such as:
  adverse effect NOS (T88.7)
  aspirin gastritis (K29.-)
  blood disorders (D56-D76)
  contact dermatitis (L23-L25)
  dermatitis due to substances taken internally (L27.-)
  nephropathy (N14.0-N14.2)
