T45.0X2A vs T45.0X2S
T45.0X2A (Poisoning by antiallergic and antiemetic drugs, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) compared with T45.0X2S (Poisoning by antiallergic and antiemetic drugs, intentional self-harm, sequela), from the official CMS tabular data. T45.0X2A and T45.0X2S code the same injury at a different phase of treatment.
Can these codes be reported together?
Same injury, other encounter phase. T45.0X2A and T45.0X2S code the same injury at a different phase of treatment, set by the 7th character.
The 7th character records the type of care given at the encounter being coded (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.C.19.a), so one encounter takes one of these, not both.
