T48.0X3A vs T48.0X3D

T48.0X3A (Poisoning by oxytocic drugs, assault, initial encounter) compared with T48.0X3D (Poisoning by oxytocic drugs, assault, subsequent encounter), from the official CMS tabular data. T48.0X3A and T48.0X3D code the same injury at a different phase of treatment.

Can these codes be reported together?

Same injury, other encounter phase. T48.0X3A and T48.0X3D 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.
