Additional Info
There is no set alcohol level at which to code a poisoning. This is a judgment call per Dr Garland. Levels alone do not define toxicity, especially if a patient has a chronic alcohol problem. Collectors should also look at the clinical signs and symptoms that the patient displays.
See ICD10 Guideline for drugs and substances for more info on coding substance related ICD10 diagnoses.
