Code Navigator:
T36.8X3D is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of poisoning by other systemic antibiotics, assault, subsequent encounter. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.
T36.8X3D is a subsequent encounter code, includes a 7th character and should be used after the patient has completed active treatment for a condition like poisoning by other systemic antibiotics assault. According to ICD-10-CM Guidelines a "subsequent encounter" occurs when the patient is receiving routine care for the condition during the healing or recovery phase of treatment. Subsequent diagnosis codes are appropriate during the recovery phase, no matter how many times the patient has seen the provider for this condition. If the provider needs to adjust the patient's care plan due to a setback or other complication, the encounter becomes active again.

S00–T88
Clinical Classifications group individual ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes into broader, clinically meaningful categories. These categories help simplify complex data by organizing related conditions under common clinical themes.
They are especially useful for data analysis, reporting, and clinical decision-making. Even when diagnosis codes differ, similar conditions can be grouped together based on their clinical relevance. Each category is assigned a unique CCSR code that represents a specific clinical concept, often tied to a body system or medical specialty.
CCSR Code: INJ059
Inpatient Default: Y - Yes, default inpatient assignment for principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis.
Outpatient Default: Y - Yes, default outpatient assignment for principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis.
Capreomycin
cyclic peptide antibiotic similar to viomycin. it is produced by streptomyces capreolus.
Ciprofloxacin
a broad-spectrum antimicrobial carboxyfluoroquinoline.
Clindamycin
an antibacterial agent that is a semisynthetic analog of lincomycin.
Colistin
cyclic polypeptide antibiotic from bacillus colistinus. it is composed of polymyxins e1 and e2 (or colistins a, b, and c) which act as detergents on cell membranes. colistin is less toxic than polymyxin b, but otherwise similar; the methanesulfonate is used orally.
Enoxacin
a broad-spectrum 6-fluoronaphthyridinone antibacterial agent that is structurally related to nalidixic acid.
Enviomycin
cyclic basic peptide related to viomycin. it is isolated from an induced mutant of streptomyces griseoverticillatus var. tuberacticus and acts as an antitubercular agent with less ototoxicity than tuberactinomycin.
Fleroxacin
a broad-spectrum antimicrobial fluoroquinolone. the drug strongly inhibits the dna-supercoiling activity of dna gyrase.
Fosfomycin
an antibiotic produced by streptomyces fradiae.
Fusidic Acid
an antibiotic isolated from the fermentation broth of fusidium coccineum. (from merck index, 11th ed). it acts by inhibiting translocation during protein synthesis.
Lincomycin
an antibiotic produced by streptomyces lincolnensis var. lincolnensis. it has been used in the treatment of staphylococcal, streptococcal, and bacteroides fragilis infections.
Norfloxacin
a synthetic fluoroquinolone (fluoroquinolones) with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against most gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. norfloxacin inhibits bacterial dna gyrase.
Levofloxacin
the l-isomer of ofloxacin.
Ofloxacin
a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent that inhibits the supercoiling activity of bacterial dna gyrase, halting dna replication.
Ristocetin
an antibiotic mixture of two components, a and b, obtained from nocardia lurida (or the same substance produced by any other means). it is no longer used clinically because of its toxicity. it causes platelet agglutination and blood coagulation and is used to assay those functions in vitro.
von Willebrand Factor
a high-molecular-weight plasma protein, produced by endothelial cells and megakaryocytes, that is part of the factor viii/von willebrand factor complex. the von willebrand factor has receptors for collagen, platelets, and ristocetin activity as well as the immunologically distinct antigenic determinants. it functions in adhesion of platelets to collagen and hemostatic plug formation. the prolonged bleeding time in von willebrand diseases is due to the deficiency of this factor.
Teicoplanin
lipoglycopeptide antibiotic from actinoplanes teichomyceticus active against gram-positive bacteria. it consists of five major components each with a different fatty acid moiety.
Vancomycin
antibacterial obtained from streptomyces orientalis. it is a glycopeptide related to ristocetin that inhibits bacterial cell wall assembly and is toxic to kidneys and the inner ear.
Vancomycin Resistance
nonsusceptibility of bacteria to the action of vancomycin, an inhibitor of cell wall synthesis.
Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci
strains of the genus enterococcus that are resistant to the antibiotic vancomycin. the enterococci become resistant by acquiring plasmids carrying genes for vancomycin resistance.
Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
isolates of the staphylococcus aureus that are resistant to the antibiotic vancomycin. the s. aureus becomes resistant by acquiring plasmids carrying genes for vancomycin resistance. vancomycin‐intermediate s. aureus has low-level vancomycin resistance requiring an intermediate concentration of vancomycin between sensitive and resistant isolates. these s. aureus with reduced susceptibility to vancomycin and related glycopeptide antibiotics are often seen in healthcare associated infections.
Viomycin
a strongly basic peptide, antibiotic complex from several strains of streptomyces. it is allergenic and toxic to kidneys and the labyrinth. viomycin is used in tuberculosis as several different salts and in combination with other agents.
Streptogramin A
a specific streptogramin group a antibiotic produced by streptomyces graminofaciens and other bacteria.
Virginiamycin
a cyclic polypeptide antibiotic complex from streptomyces virginiae, s. loidensis, s. mitakaensis, s. pristina-spiralis, s. ostreogriseus, and others. it consists of 2 major components, virginiamycin factor m1 and virginiamycin factor s1. it is used to treat infections with gram-positive organisms and as a growth promoter in cattle, swine, and poultry.
When coding a poisoning or reaction to the improper use of a medication (e.g., overdose, wrong substance given or taken in error, wrong route of administration), first assign the appropriate code from categories T36-T50. The poisoning codes have an associated intent as their 5th or 6th character (accidental, intentional self-harm, assault and undetermined. If the intent of the poisoning is unknown or unspecified, code the intent as accidental intent. The undetermined intent is only for use if the documentation in the record specifies that the intent cannot be determined. Use additional code(s) for all manifestations of poisonings.
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of systemic antibiotics (T36). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
This code was replaced in the 2026 ICD-10-CM code set with the code(s) listed below. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has published an update to the ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes which became effective October 1, 2025. This code was replaced for the FY 2026 (October 1, 2025 - September 30, 2026).
- T36.AX3D - Poisoning by fluoroquinolone antibiotics, assault, subs
- T36.AX3D - Poisoning by fluoroquinolone antibiotics, assault, subs
T36.8X3D is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.

Below are the ICD-9 codes that most closely match this ICD-10 code, based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMs). This ICD-10 to ICD-9 crosswalk tool is helpful for coders who need to reference legacy diagnosis codes for audits, historical claims, or approximate code comparisons.
ICD-9-CM: V58.89
Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means this ICD-10 code does not have an exact ICD-9 equivalent. The matched code is the closest available option, but it may not fully capture the original diagnosis or clinical intent.
The parent code T36.8X3 of the current diagnosis code is referenced in the Table of Drugs and Chemicals, this table contains a classification of drugs, industrial solvents, corrosive gases, noxious plants, pesticides, and other toxic agents.
According to ICD-10-CM coding guidelines it is advised to do not code directly from the Table of Drugs and Chemicals, instead always refer back to the Tabular List when doing the initial coding. Each substance in the table is assigned a code according to the poisoning classification and external causes of adverse effects. It is important to use as many codes as necessary to specify all reported drugs, medicinal or chemical substances. If the same diagnosis code describes the causative agent for more than one adverse reaction, poisoning, toxic effect or underdosing, utilize the code only once.

Antibiotics
What are antibiotics?
Antibiotics are medicines that fight bacterial infections in people and animals. They work by killing the bacteria or by making it hard for the bacteria to grow and multiply.
Antibiotics can be taken in different ways:
- Orally (by mouth). This could be pills, capsules, or liquids.
- Topically. This might be a cream, spray, or ointment that you put on your skin. It could also be eye ointment, eye drops, or ear drops.
- Through an injection or intravenously (IV). This is usually for more serious infections.
What do antibiotics treat?
Antibiotics only treat certain bacterial infections, such as strep throat, urinary tract infections, and E. coli.
You may not need to take antibiotics for some bacterial infections. For example, you might not need them for many sinus infections or some ear infections. Taking antibiotics when they're not needed won't help you, and they can have side effects. Your health care provider can decide the best treatment for you when you're sick. Don't ask your provider to prescribe an antibiotic for you.
Do antibiotics treat viral infections?
Antibiotics do not work on viral infections. For example, you shouldn't take antibiotics for:
- Colds and runny noses, even if the mucus is thick, yellow, or green
- Most sore throats (except strep throat)
- Flu
- Most cases of bronchitis
What are the side effects of antibiotics?
The side effects of antibiotics range from minor to very severe. Some of the common side effects include:
- Rash
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Yeast infections
More serious side effects can include:
- C. diff infections, which cause diarrhea that can lead to severe colon damage and sometimes even death
- Severe and life-threatening allergic reactions
- Antibiotic resistance infections
Call your health care provider if you develop any side effects while taking your antibiotic.
Why is it important to take antibiotics only when they're needed?
You should only take antibiotics when they are needed because they can cause side effects and can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance happens when the bacteria change and become able to resist the effects of an antibiotic. This means that the bacteria continue to grow.
How do I use antibiotics correctly?
When you take antibiotics, it is important that you take them responsibly:
- Always follow the directions carefully. Finish your medicine even if you feel better. If you stop taking them too soon, some bacteria may survive and re-infect you.
- Don't save your antibiotics for later.
- Don't share your antibiotic with others.
- Don't take antibiotics prescribed for someone else. This may delay the best treatment for you, make you even sicker, or cause side effects.

Poisoning
A poison is any substance that is harmful to your body. You might swallow it, inhale it, inject it, or absorb it through your skin. Any substance can be poisonous if too much is taken. Poisons can include:
- Prescription or over-the-counter medicines taken in doses that are too high
- Overdoses of illegal drugs
- Carbon monoxide from gas appliances
- Household products, such as laundry powder or furniture polish
- Pesticides
- Indoor or outdoor plants
- Metals such as lead and mercury
The effects of poisoning range from short-term illness to brain damage, coma, and death. To prevent poisoning it is important to use and store products exactly as their labels say. Keep dangerous products where children can't get to them. Treatment for poisoning depends on the type of poison. If you suspect someone has been poisoned, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222 right away.
