Pesticides

Pests live where they are not wanted or cause harm to crops, people, or animals. Pesticides can help get rid of them. Pesticides are not just insect killers. They also include chemicals to control weeds, rodents, mildew, germs, and more. Many household products contain pesticides.

Questions About T60Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for toxic effect of pesticides?

T60 is the ICD-10-CM category for toxic effect of pesticides, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is T60 (Toxic effect of pesticides) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for toxic effect of pesticides, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for toxic effect of pesticides need a more specific code from this category, such as T60.0X1A, T60.0X1D, and T60.0X1S.

Can T60 be reported with a code from Z77?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block T51-T65, which applies to T60, lists "contact with and (suspected) exposure to toxic substances (Z77.-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
