| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

T56.0X2A is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of toxic effect of lead and its compounds, intentional self-harm, initial encounter. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code T560 is used to code Lead poisoning

Lead poisoning (also known as plumbism, colica pictorum, saturnism, Devon colic, or painter's colic) is a type of metal poisoning and a medical condition in humans and other vertebrates caused by increased levels of the heavy metal lead in the body. Lead interferes with a variety of body processes and is toxic to many organs and tissues including the heart, bones, intestines, kidneys, and reproductive and nervous systems. It interferes with the development of the nervous system and is therefore particularly toxic to children, causing potentially permanent learning and behavior disorders. Symptoms include abdominal pain, confusion, headache, anemia, irritability, and in severe cases seizures, coma, and death.

Equivalent ICD-9 Codes GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Toxic effect of unspecified lead compound (approximate match)
Suicide and self-inflicted poisoning by other and unspecified solid and liquid substances (approximate match)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code T56.0X2A and a single ICD9 code, E950.9 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
