T45.3X1 (Poisoning by enzymes, accidental (unintentional)) compared with T45.3X2 (Poisoning by enzymes, intentional self-harm), from the official CMS tabular data. T45.3X1 and T45.3X2 code the same substance (Alglucerase) with a different intent.

Can these codes be reported together?

Same substance, different intent. T45.3X1 and T45.3X2 code the same substance (Alglucerase) with a different circumstance of exposure.

From the CMS Table of Drugs and Chemicals: accidental poisoning, intentional self-harm, assault, undetermined intent, adverse effect and underdosing are mutually exclusive columns — only one of them applies to a given encounter.
