T60.4X2A vs T60.4X2D

T60.4X2A (Toxic effect of rodenticides, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) compared with T60.4X2D (Toxic effect of rodenticides, intentional self-harm, subsequent encounter), from the official CMS tabular data. T60.4X2A and T60.4X2D code the same injury at a different phase of treatment.

Can these codes be reported together?

Same injury, other encounter phase. T60.4X2A and T60.4X2D 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.
