2025 ICD-10-CM code T50.A92A
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Revision Date: N/A Deletion Date: N/A Poisoning - Poisoning by drugs, medicaments and biological substances Chapter 19: Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88) Feed
Poisoning by other bacterial vaccines, intentional self-harm, initial encounter.
Not applicable to ICD-10 codes.
Medical necessity is established by the presence of poisoning symptoms caused by the intentional ingestion of a bacterial vaccine, requiring medical intervention to stabilize the patient and manage complications. Documentation must support the diagnosis, the treatment plan, and the medical necessity of the provided care.
The clinical responsibility involves diagnosing the poisoning, assessing the patient's condition, providing necessary treatment (e.g., supportive care, antidotes), managing complications, and monitoring the patient's recovery. Documentation should support the diagnosis, treatment plan, and response to treatment.Detailed documentation is important for justifying medical necessity.

In simple words: This code is used when someone intentionally harms themselves by taking other types of bacterial vaccines. This is for the first time this happens.
This ICD-10-CM code classifies the initial encounter of poisoning due to other bacterial vaccines resulting from intentional self-harm.It's crucial to specify the vaccine involved in the documentation to ensure accurate coding.Additional codes may be necessary to capture the nature of the adverse effect and any complications.This code is for the initial encounter; subsequent encounters should utilize appropriate subsequent encounter codes. The intent of the self-harm needs to be supported by the clinical documentation.
Example 1: A patient is admitted to the hospital after intentionally ingesting several doses of a bacterial vaccine. The physician diagnoses poisoning and orders supportive care, including monitoring vital signs and administering fluids.The patient is suicidal.The patient’s history is documented and the treating psychiatrist notes the suicide attempt., A patient presents to the emergency department after self-administering an unknown bacterial vaccine.Lab results confirm the presence of the vaccine's components. Treatment is provided according to the physician’s plan. The patient has a previous history of mental health disorders., A patient is seen in a psychiatric outpatient setting following a self-inflicted ingestion of a bacterial vaccine. The patient is assessed for potential harm to themselves and others.The physician documents the interaction and the treatment provided.
Complete medical history including details about the vaccine ingested (name, dose, route, time), symptoms, vital signs, laboratory results, treatment provided, and the patient's mental health status. The documentation must indicate the intentional nature of the self-harm.
** This code should only be used for the initial encounter.Subsequent encounters will require different codes.Accurate documentation is critical for appropriate code assignment and reimbursement.Always refer to the latest official ICD-10-CM coding guidelines for the most up-to-date information.
