T45.AX — Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of immune checkpoint inhibitors and immunostimulant drugs
Is T45.AX billable?
No — T45.AX is a non-billable header code. T45.AX groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 18 billable codes beneath T45.AX.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from T36-T50
The conditions below can never be reported together with T45.AX 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 T45.A
The conditions below can never be reported together with T45.AX on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drug (T45.1)
Code first — inherited from T36-T50
The underlying condition below must be sequenced before T45.AX. T45.AX describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside T45.AX to fully describe the condition. T45.AX is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of T45.AX, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T45.AX and the excluded code may both be reported.
