Toxic effect of metals - T56
This notation helps users understand the scope of a code T56 category and provides additional information about the conditions or terms that fall under that category.
Category Includes:
- toxic effects of fumes and vapors of metals
- toxic effects of metals from all sources, except medicinal substances
Use Additional Code: This note indicates that an additional code should be used in conjunction with the primary code "T56" to provide a complete picture of the patient's condition or to capture associated factors.
Use Additional:
- code to identify any retained metal foreign body, if applicable (Z18.0-, T18.1-)
Excludes1: It indicates that the conditions described by two codes cannot occur together in the same patient. These codes are mutually exclusive.
Type 1 Excludes:
- arsenic and its compounds (T57.0)
- manganese and its compounds (T57.2)
The seventh character in ICD-10-CM is an essential component that adds specificity to diagnosis codes by indicating aspects like the encounter type, stage, or other relevant clinical details.
Category SevenChr Note:
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T56
