You should check with the MD if he/she meant an adverse effect of an anticoagulation therapy. If so, code first the symptoms and then code E934.2. If it was a poisoning, follow poisoning coding guidelines.

I think
964.2 (Poisoning Anticoagulants)
Presented Symptoms
E934.2 (Therapeutic use).
Hope this helps!

I agree with 790.92 as the physician is usually reporting this as the results from a PT/PTT/INR
Subtherapeutic is too little...not too much
790.92 is absolutely correct.
To use 964.2 and E934.2, you are essentially telling the insurance company that this patient received WAY TOO MUCH and sub-therapeutic means they received not enough...that the level is below therapeutic.
Cheers!
