BillableUnspecified

Is T37.8X1D billable?

Yes, but T37.8X1D is an unspecified code. T37.8X1D is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, T37.8X1D is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting T37.8X1D — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Inclusion terms

Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to T37.8X1D.

  • Poisoning by other specified systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics NOS

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from T36-T50

The conditions below can never be reported together with T37.8X1D on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • toxic reaction to local anesthesia in pregnancy (O29.3-)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from T37

The conditions below can never be reported together with T37.8X1D on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • anti-infectives topically used for ear, nose and throat (T49.6-)
  • anti-infectives topically used for eye (T49.5-)
  • locally applied anti-infectives NEC (T49.0-)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from T37.8

The conditions below can never be reported together with T37.8X1D on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

Code first — inherited from T36-T50

The underlying condition below must be sequenced before T37.8X1D. T37.8X1D describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.

  • , 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)

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19

Report an additional code alongside T37.8X1D to fully describe the condition. T37.8X1D is sequenced first.

  • code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)

Use additional code — inherited from T36-T50

Report an additional code alongside T37.8X1D to fully describe the condition. T37.8X1D is sequenced first.

  • 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-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19

The conditions below are not part of T37.8X1D, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T37.8X1D and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • birth trauma (P10-P15)
  • obstetric trauma (O70-O71)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from T36-T50

The conditions below are not part of T37.8X1D, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T37.8X1D and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • abuse and dependence of psychoactive substances (F10-F19)
  • abuse of non-dependence-producing substances (F55.-)
  • immunodeficiency due to drugs (D84.821)
  • drug reaction and poisoning affecting newborn (P00-P96)
  • pathological drug intoxication (inebriation) (F10-F19)

How long has T37.8X1D existed?

T37.8X1D has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.

Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
