About T38.7X4

T38.7X4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by androgens and anabolic congeners, undetermined. It belongs to category T38 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of hormones and their synthetic substitutes and antagonists, not elsewhere classified), block T36-T50 (poisoning by, adverse effects of and underdosing of drugs, medicaments and biological substances) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T38.7X (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of androgens and anabolic congeners), T38.7X4 is specifically for poisoning by androgens and anabolic congeners, undetermined.

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.
