T39.091Poisoning by salicylates, accidental (unintentional)

T39.091 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by salicylates, accidental (unintentional). It belongs to category T39 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of nonopioid analgesics, antipyretics and antirheumatics), 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 T39.09 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of other salicylates), T39.091 is specifically for poisoning by salicylates, accidental (unintentional). Related codes cover poisoning by salicylates, intentional self-harm (T39.092), poisoning by salicylates, assault (T39.093), poisoning by salicylates, undetermined (T39.094), adverse effect of salicylates (T39.095) and underdosing of salicylates (T39.096).

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.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
