2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T60.2X3AToxic effect of other insecticides, assault, initial encounter
T60.2X3A is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for toxic effect of other insecticides, assault, initial encounter. The 7th character A marks it as an initial encounter code, used while the patient is receiving active treatment. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026) and groups to MS-DRG 917 through 918.

Clinical InformationClinical
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.

Patient EducationClinical
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.

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.
