Can someone please confirm if poisoning codes can be used as the first diagnosis? The section instructions state to use the code first and then additional codes for any manifestations. Some insurance companies are denying claims if a poisoning code is used first.
 
I agree with you (and the ICD-10 guidelines) - the poisoning codes come first, and then the manifestation. Sounds like an appeal is in order
