Specific Coding Applicable to Toxic effect of halogenated insecticides, self-harm
Non-specific codes like T60.1X2 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for toxic effect of halogenated insecticides, self-harm:
Clinical Information
Diflubenzuron
an insect growth regulator which interferes with the formation of the insect cuticle. it is effective in the control of mosquitoes and flies.Endrin
an organochlorine compound that was formerly used as an insecticide. its manufacture and use has been discontinued in the united states. (from merck index, 11th ed)Heptachlor
a man-made compound previously used to control termites and other insects. even though production of heptachlor was phased out of use in the united states during the late 1980's it remains in soil and hazardous waste sites. it is clearly toxic to animals and humans but, the international agency for research on cancer (iarc) has determined that heptachlor is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. (from atsdr public heath statement, april 1989)Heptachlor Epoxide
an oxidation product of heptachlor formed by many plants and animals, including humans, after exposure to heptachlor. it has been shown to remain in soil treated with heptachlor for over fifteen years and is toxic to animals and humans. (from atsdr public heath statement, april 1989)Permethrin
a pyrethroid insecticide commonly used in the treatment of lice infestations and scabies.
Coding Guidelines
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Toxic effect of pesticides (T60). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
Table of Drugs and Chemicals
The 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
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.
Pesticides can protect your health by killing germs, animals, or plants that could hurt you. However, they can also be harmful to people or pets. You might want to try non-chemical methods first. If you do need a pesticide, use it correctly. Be especially careful around children and pets. Proper disposal of pesticides is also important - it can help protect the environment.
Biologically-based pesticides are becoming more popular. They often are safer than traditional pesticides.

Poisoning
A poison is any substance that is harmful to your body. You might swallow it, inhale it, inject it, or absorb it through your skin. Any substance can be poisonous if too much is taken. Poisons can include:
- Prescription or over-the-counter medicines taken in doses that are too high
- Overdoses of illegal drugs
- Carbon monoxide from gas appliances
- Household products, such as laundry powder or furniture polish
- Pesticides
- Indoor or outdoor plants
- Metals such as lead and mercury
The effects of poisoning range from short-term illness to brain damage, coma, and death. To prevent poisoning it is important to use and store products exactly as their labels say. Keep dangerous products where children can't get to them. Treatment for poisoning depends on the type of poison. If you suspect someone has been poisoned, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222 right away.
