Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

This code requires a 7th character

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T52

A: initial encounter
D: subsequent encounter
S: sequela

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

halogen derivatives of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons (T53.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with T52

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at T52. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading T52 alone.

T52.1Toxic effects of benzene

T52 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead T52

7 child codes. Green means billable.
