Get ready to master using the table of drugs and chemicals for poisonings, adverse effects, and more! We'll start with an overview of what this supplemental tool is, when to use it, and how it makes coding more accurate. Next, we'll walk through a step-by-step example looking up a poisoning code.

You'll learn the critical difference between poisonings, toxic effects, adverse reactions, and underdosing. We'll also cover key details like:

• The table's alphabetical organization
• Jumping from the table to the tabular for full code specifics
• Following coding guidelines to capture additional manifestations

Expect clear explanations of poisoning vs toxic effect, how to identify the causative substance, choosing the right intent code, and real-world coding examples. Whether you're new to using this table or need a refresher, this info-packed episode delivers easy-to-understand guidance you don't want to miss!
