T53.7X1 vs T53.7X4

T53.7X1 (Toxic effect of other halogen derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons, accidental (unintentional)) compared with T53.7X4 (Toxic effect of other halogen derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons, undetermined), from the official CMS tabular data. T53.7X1 and T53.7X4 code the same substance (Chlorbenzene) with a different intent.

Can these codes be reported together?

Same substance, different intent. T53.7X1 and T53.7X4 code the same substance (Chlorbenzene) 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.
