T62.2X1D is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of toxic effect of other ingested (parts of) plant(s), accidental (unintentional), subsequent encounter. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.
T62.2X1D is a subsequent encounter code, includes a 7th character and should be used after the patient has completed active treatment for a condition like toxic effect of other ingested (parts of) plant(s) accidental (unintentional). According to ICD-10-CM Guidelines a "subsequent encounter" occurs when the patient is receiving routine care for the condition during the healing or recovery phase of treatment. Subsequent diagnosis codes are appropriate during the recovery phase, no matter how many times the patient has seen the provider for this condition. If the provider needs to adjust the patient's care plan due to a setback or other complication, the encounter becomes active again.

Clinical Information
Colchicum
a genus of poisonous, liliaceous plants. the roots (corms) of colchicum autumnale, the fall crocus or meadow saffron, yield colchicine, which is used as a biochemical tool and to treat gout. other members of this genus yield saffron dye, flavoring agents, and aromatics.Cytisus
a plant genus of the family fabaceae that is sometimes called broom because of the shape of the plant. members produce sparteine.Laburnum
a plant genus of the family fabaceae named after the drooping clusters of flowers.Delphinium
a plant genus of the family ranunculaceae. members contain aconitine and other diterpenoid alkaloids.Equisetum
the only living genus of the order equisetales, class equisetopsida (sphenopsida), division equisetophyta (sphenophyta); distantly related to ferns. it grows in moist places. the hollow, jointed, ridged stems contain silicates.Cicuta
a plant genus of the family apiaceae. it is a source of cicutoxin.Conium
a plant genus of the family apiaceae that is a source of coniine.Hemlock
any of several poisonous plants, commonly called poison hemlock, of the cicuta or conium genus. the hemlock tree (tsuga) is completely unrelated being a coniferous tree of the pine family.Tsuga
a plant genus in the family pinaceae, order pinales, class pinopsida, division coniferophyta. they are coniferous evergreen trees and should not be confused with hemlock plants (cicuta and conium).Jatropha
a plant genus of the family euphorbiaceae. members contain jatrophone and other diterpenes.Lobelia
a plant genus of the family campanulaceae used medicinally and is a source of lobeline.Melia azedarach
a plant species of the genus melia, family meliaceae, which is toxic to insects. the name is very similar to melia azadirachta (azadirachta).Prunus
a plant genus in the family rosaceae, order rosales, subclass rosidae. it is best known as a source of edible fruits such as apricot, plum, peach, cherry, and almond.Prunus africana
a plant species in the family rosaceae. the bark extract known as pygeum is an ingredient in folk remedies.Prunus armeniaca
a plant species in the family rosaceae. it is the source of apricot fruit.Prunus avium
a plant species in the family rosaceae. it is the source of the sweet cherry fruit.Prunus domestica
a plant species in the family rosaceae. it is a tree that produces fruits called plums.Prunus dulcis

a mixture of alpha-chaconine and alpha-solanine, found in solanaceae plants.Veratrum
a plant genus of the family melanthiaceae with roots that contain veratrum alkaloids used as emetics, parasiticides, antihypertensives. the common name "black hellebore" is used for both veratrum nigrum and helleborus niger.Veratrum Alkaloids
alkaloids with powerful hypotensive effects isolated from american or european hellebore (veratrum viride ait. liliaceae and veratrum album l. liliaceae). they increase cholinergic and decrease adrenergic tone with appropriate side effects and at higher doses depress respiration and produce cardiac arrhythmias; only the ester alkaloids have been used as hypotensive agents in specific instances. they have been generally replaced by drugs with fewer adverse effects.
Coding Guidelines
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Toxic effect of other noxious substances eaten as food (T62). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
Present on Admission (POA)
T62.2X1D is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.
CMS POA Indicator Options and Definitions
POA Indicator | Reason for Code | CMS will pay the CC/MCC DRG? |
---|---|---|
Y | Diagnosis was present at time of inpatient admission. | YES |
N | Diagnosis was not present at time of inpatient admission. | NO |
U | Documentation insufficient to determine if the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. | NO |
W | Clinically undetermined - unable to clinically determine whether the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. | YES |
1 | Unreported/Not used - Exempt from POA reporting. | NO |
Convert T62.2X1D to ICD-9-CM
- ICD-9-CM Code: V58.89 - Other specfied aftercare
Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Table of Drugs and Chemicals
The parent code T62.2X1 of the current diagnosis code is referenced in the Table of Drugs and Chemicals, this table contains a classification of drugs, industrial solvents, corrosive gases, noxious plants, pesticides, and other toxic agents.
According to ICD-10-CM coding guidelines it is advised to do not code directly from the Table of Drugs and Chemicals, instead always refer back to the Tabular List when doing the initial coding. Each substance in the table is assigned a code according to the poisoning classification and external causes of adverse effects. It is important to use as many codes as necessary to specify all reported drugs, medicinal or chemical substances. If the same diagnosis code describes the causative agent for more than one adverse reaction, poisoning, toxic effect or underdosing, utilize the code only once.

Patient Education
Foodborne Illness
Each year, around 48 million people in the United States get sick from contaminated food. Common causes include bacteria and viruses. Less often, the cause may be a parasite or a harmful chemical, such as a high amount of pesticides. Symptoms of foodborne illness depend on the cause. They can be mild or serious. They usually include:
- Upset stomach
- Abdominal cramps
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Dehydration
Most foodborne illnesses are acute. This means that they happen suddenly and last a short time.
It takes several steps to get food from the farm or fishery to your dining table. Contamination can happen during any of these steps. For example, it can happen to:
- Raw meat during slaughter
- Fruits and vegetables when they are growing or when they are processed
- Refrigerated foods when they are left on a loading dock in warm weather
But it can also happen in your kitchen if you leave food out for more than 2 hours at room temperature. Handling food safely can help prevent foodborne illnesses.
Most people with foodborne illness get better on their own. It is important to replace lost fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration. If your health care provider can diagnose the specific cause, you may get medicines such as antibiotics to treat it. For more serious illness, you may need treatment at a hospital.

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
