Adverse effect of antihyperlipidemic and antiarteriosclerotic drugs
“Adverse effect of antihyperlipidemic and antiarterio drugs” for short

T46.6X5 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Adverse effect of antihyperlipidemic and antiarteriosclerotic drugs. It should not be used for HIPAA-covered transactions as a more specific code is available to choose from below.

7th Character selection:

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T46

Coding structure:

ICD-10 code T46.6X5 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 T46: Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of agents primarily affecting the cardiovascular system

↑ Parent code:
T46.6X for Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of antihyperlipidemic and antiarteriosclerotic drugs

Should you use T46.6X5 or T466X5 (with or without decimal point)?
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.
