T39.314

Poisoning by propionic acid derivatives, undetermined

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 3 more specific codes instead:

  • T39.314A Poisoning by propionic acid derivatives, undetermined, initial encounter
  • T39.314D Poisoning by propionic acid derivatives, undetermined, subsequent encounter
  • T39.314S Poisoning by propionic acid derivatives, undetermined, sequela

This code requires a seventh character. See the rule below.

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2014 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

Official coding rules

Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.
