T50.1X6Underdosing of loop [high-ceiling] diuretics

T50.1X6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for underdosing of loop [high-ceiling] diuretics. It belongs to category T50 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of diuretics and other and unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances), 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 T50.1X (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of loop [high-ceiling] diuretics), T50.1X6 is specifically for underdosing of loop [high-ceiling] diuretics. Related codes cover poisoning by loop [high-ceiling] diuretics, accidental (unintentional) (T50.1X1), poisoning by loop [high-ceiling] diuretics, intentional self-harm (T50.1X2), poisoning by loop [high-ceiling] diuretics, assault (T50.1X3), poisoning by loop [high-ceiling] diuretics, undetermined (T50.1X4) and adverse effect of loop [high-ceiling] diuretics (T50.1X5).

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.
