How is T65.2 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to T65.2. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Poisoning › nicotine (acute)
- Poisoning › tobacco (acute)
Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of T65.2, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T65.2 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- nicotine dependence (F17.-)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from T51-T65
The conditions below can never be reported together with T65.2 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- contact with and (suspected) exposure to toxic substances (Z77.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside T65.2 to fully describe the condition. T65.2 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
