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 other noxious substances eaten as food
        (T62)

T62.2X1 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 ingested (parts of) plant(s), accidental (unintentional). 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 ingested (parts of) plant(s), accidental

Non-specific codes like T62.2X1 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 ingested (parts of) plant(s), accidental:

  • Use T62.2X1A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T62.2X1D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T62.2X1S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Clinical Information

  • Colchicum

    a genus of poisonous, liliaceous plants. the roots (corms) of colchicum autumnale, the fall crocus or meadow saffron, yield colchicine, which is used as a biochemical tool and to treat gout. other members of this genus yield saffron dye, flavoring agents, and aromatics.
  • Cytisus

    a plant genus of the family fabaceae that is sometimes called broom because of the shape of the plant. members produce sparteine.
  • Laburnum

    a plant genus of the family fabaceae named after the drooping clusters of flowers.
  • Delphinium

    a plant genus of the family ranunculaceae. members contain aconitine and other diterpenoid alkaloids.
  • Equisetum

    the only living genus of the order equisetales, class equisetopsida (sphenopsida), division equisetophyta (sphenophyta); distantly related to ferns. it grows in moist places. the hollow, jointed, ridged stems contain silicates.
  • Cicuta

    a plant genus of the family apiaceae. it is a source of cicutoxin.
  • Conium

    a plant genus of the family apiaceae that is a source of coniine.

  • Veratrum Alkaloids

    alkaloids with powerful hypotensive effects isolated from american or european hellebore (veratrum viride ait. liliaceae and veratrum album l. liliaceae). they increase cholinergic and decrease adrenergic tone with appropriate side effects and at higher doses depress respiration and produce cardiac arrhythmias; only the ester alkaloids have been used as hypotensive agents in specific instances. they have been generally replaced by drugs with fewer adverse effects.

Coding Guidelines

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Toxic effect of other noxious substances eaten as food (T62). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Inclusion Terms

Inclusion Terms
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
  • Toxic effect of other ingested (parts of) plant(s) NOS

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


Foodborne Illness

Each year, around 48 million people in the United States get sick from contaminated food. Common causes include bacteria and viruses. Less often, the cause may be a parasite or a harmful chemical, such as a high amount of pesticides. Symptoms of foodborne illness depend on the cause. They can be mild or serious. They usually include:

  • Upset stomach
  • Abdominal cramps
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Fever
  • Dehydration

Most foodborne illnesses are acute. This means that they happen suddenly and last a short time.

It takes several steps to get food from the farm or fishery to your dining table. Contamination can happen during any of these steps. For example, it can happen to:

  • Raw meat during slaughter
  • Fruits and vegetables when they are growing or when they are processed
  • Refrigerated foods when they are left on a loading dock in warm weather

But it can also happen in your kitchen if you leave food out for more than 2 hours at room temperature. Handling food safely can help prevent foodborne illnesses.

Most people with foodborne illness get better on their own. It is important to replace lost fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration. If your health care provider can diagnose the specific cause, you may get medicines such as antibiotics to treat it. For more serious illness, you may need treatment at a hospital.
