T45.96XA
ICD-10-CMUnderdosing of unspecified primarily systemic and hematological agent, initial encounter
This code signifies a patient's condition resulting from receiving less than the prescribed or necessary amount of a systemic or hematological medication. This underdosing leads to an adverse effect or a worsening of the underlying condition the medication was intended to treat. It indicates a problem with medication administration or adherence rather than an inherent drug reaction.
Use this code when a patient presents with symptoms or complications directly attributable to insufficient dosing of a systemic agent (e.g., an anticoagulant, immunosuppressant, or chemotherapy drug) or a hematological agent. This applies when the underdosing is the primary reason for the encounter and is not due to a patient's intentional non-adherence. Examples include medication errors, supply issues, or miscommunication leading to inadequate intake.
