Code Classification

  • Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes
    (S00–T88)
    • Toxic effects of substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source
      (T51-T65)
      • Toxic effect of pesticides
        (T60)

T60.2X4 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of toxic effect of other insecticides, undetermined. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Toxic effect of other insecticides, undetermined

Non-specific codes like T60.2X4 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 other insecticides, undetermined:

  • Use T60.2X4A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T60.2X4D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T60.2X4S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Clinical Information

  • Azadirachta

    a plant genus of the family meliaceae. members contain azadirachtin a (a limonoid commonly referred to as azadirachtin) and other triterpenes. they have been used in pesticides. the old name of melia azadirachta is very similar to a related plant, melia azedarach.
  • Camphor

    a bicyclic monoterpene ketone found widely in plants, especially cinnamomum camphora. it is used topically as a skin antipruritic and as an anti-infective agent.
  • Camphor 5-Monooxygenase

    a soluble cytochrome p-450 enzyme that catalyzes camphor monooxygenation in the presence of putidaredoxin, putidaredoxin reductase, and molecular oxygen. this enzyme, encoded by the camc gene also known as cyp101, has been crystallized from bacteria and the structure is well defined. under anaerobic conditions, this enzyme reduces the polyhalogenated compounds bound at the camphor-binding site.
  • Cinnamomum camphora

    a tree, cinnamomum camphora (l.) j. presl, known as the source of camphor.
  • Endosulfan

    a polychlorinated compound used for controlling a variety of insects. it is practically water-insoluble, but readily adheres to clay particles and persists in soil and water for several years. its mode of action involves repetitive nerve-discharges positively correlated to increase in temperature. this compound is extremely toxic to most fish. (from comp biochem physiol (c) 1993 jul;105(3):347-61)
  • Electron Transport Complex I

    a flavoprotein and iron sulfur-containing oxidoreductase complex that catalyzes the conversion of ubiquinone to ubiquinol. in mitochondria the complex also couples its reaction to the transport of protons across the internal mitochondrial membrane. the nadh dehydrogenase component of the complex can be isolated and is listed as ec 1.6.99.3.
  • Rotenone

    a botanical insecticide that is an inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transport.

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.

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.
