Encounter relationship

T47.1X5A
Initial encounter
Adverse effect of other antacids and anti-gastric-secretion drugs, initial encounter
T47.1X5S
Sequela
Adverse effect of other antacids and anti-gastric-secretion drugs, sequela

Same underlying diagnosis, different encounter phase.

The 7th character records the phase of care for the encounter being coded, so a single encounter takes one of these characters, not several. Review whether both phases belong on the same episode of care.

Can these codes be reported together?

Same injury, other encounter phase. T47.1X5A and T47.1X5S 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.
