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.
Inherited from T54 Toxic effect of corrosive substances
Seventh character required
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T54
Inherited from the T51-T65 section Toxic effects of substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source (T51-T65)
Excludes1 - never coded here
- contact with and (suspected) exposure to toxic substances (Z77.-)
Use additional code
