T41.0 is the authoritative medical code for Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of inhaled anesthetics. This classification is used in medical billing and clinical recording to specify the clinical criteria for poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of inhaled anesthetics (ICD-10-CM T41.0), ensuring healthcare documentation aligns with 2026 federal coding standards.
Billing Status: NO. This is a clinician non-billable / parent hierarchy grouping in the ICD-10-CM system.
Official Registry Overview & Definition
Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of inhaled anesthetics is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code T41.0. A more specific billable subcode must be selected for claims submission. Includes: adverse effect of correct substance properly administered; poisoning by overdose of substance; poisoning by wrong substance given or taken in error; underdosing by (inadvertently) deliberately taking less substance than prescribed or instructed. Excludes1 (not coded here): oxygen T41.5-; benzodiazepines T42.4-; cocaine T40.5-; complications of anesthesia during pregnancy O29.-; complications of anesthesia during labor and delivery O74.-; complications of anesthesia during the puerperium O89.-; opioids T40.0-T40.2-; toxic reaction to local anesthesia in pregnancy O29.3-. Excludes2 (not included here): abuse and dependence of psychoactive substances F10-F19; abuse of non-dependence-producing substances F55.-; immunodeficiency due to drugs D84.821; drug reaction and poisoning affecting newborn P00-P96; pathological drug intoxication inebriation F10-F19. Code first: , for adverse effects, the nature of the adverse effect, such as:; adverse effect NOS T88.7; aspirin gastritis K29.-; blood disorders D56-D76; contact dermatitis L23-L25; dermatitis due to substances taken internally L27.-; nephropathy N14.0-N14.2. Use additional code: code(s) to specify:; manifestations of poisoning; underdosing or failure in dosage during medical and surgical care (Y63.6, Y63.8-Y63.9); underdosing of medication regimen (Z91.12-, Z91.13-). 7th character: The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T41.
