What This Code Means
T37 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of other systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics. T37 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (s00-t88), within the section covering poisoning by, adverse effects of and underdosing of drugs, medicaments and biological substances (t36-t50).
Header codes like T37 cannot be reported on claims directly; they organize child codes that share clinical context. Coders should select the billable child code that matches the documented presentation and then verify its current source-backed HCC mapping. Do not infer a child code or risk adjustment value from the header alone.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for T37 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
