2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T60.3X1AToxic effect of herbicides and fungicides, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter
T60.3X1A is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for toxic effect of herbicides and fungicides, accidental (unintentional), 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. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under External cause codes: intent of injury, accidental/unintentional; External cause codes: poisoning by non-drug; and Toxic effects, initial encounter.

antibiotic substance isolated from streptomycin-producing strains of streptomyces griseus. it acts by inhibiting elongation during protein synthesis.Dicamba
a chlorinated organic herbicide.Diuron
a pre-emergent herbicide.Glyphosate
active compound in herbicidal formulations that inhibits 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase.Paraquat

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.

Questions About T60.3X1AOverview
Is T60.3X1A a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report toxic effect of herbicides and fungicides, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What does the 7th character A in T60.3X1A mean?
The final character A marks the initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for toxic effect of herbicides and fungicides, accidental (unintentional), such as an emergency visit or first evaluation.
What MS-DRG does T60.3X1A group to?
When toxic effect of herbicides and fungicides, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 917, 918, with relative weights from 0.8571 to 1.5684 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of T60.3X1A?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, toxic effect of herbicides and fungicides, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter converts to ICD-9-CM 989.89 (tox eff nonmed subst NEC) and E863.5 (acc poison-herbicides). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
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.
