Type 1 Excludes

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

7th Character Note

Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.

7th Character

Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range

Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the T61 range.

Myoglobinuria

The presence of MYOGLOBIN in URINE usually as a result of rhabdomyolysis.

Seafood

Marine fish and shellfish used as food or suitable for food. (Webster, 3d ed) SHELLFISH and FISH PRODUCTS are more specific types of SEAFOOD.

Shellfish Poisoning

Poisoning from toxins present in bivalve mollusks that have been ingested. Four distinct types of shellfish poisoning are recognized based on the toxin involved.

About the T61 Code Range

The ICD-10 codes in the T61 section categorize toxic effects resulting from eating harmful substances in seafood. These codes cover various seafood poisonings, such as ciguatera fish poisoning, scombroid fish poisoning, and poisonings from other fish, shellfish, or unspecified seafood.

These codes specify poisoning causes like accidental ingestion, intentional self-harm, assault, or undetermined circumstances. For example, T61.01 represents accidental ciguatera fish poisoning, with synonyms including “peripheral neuropathy caused by ciguatoxin,” helping medical coders link symptoms to the correct code. Similarly, the T61.11 code for scombroid fish poisoning is also known as “ichthyosarcotoxism” or “toxic effect from eating fish.” Other codes, such as T61.771, identify poisoning by venomous fish or unique toxins like fugu poisoning. Shellfish poisonings under T61.781 include conditions like paralytic or amnesic shellfish poisoning, each with specific symptoms and exposure contexts. The section also includes toxic effects from jellyfish under T61.8X1. This detailed classification ensures accurate documentation of poisoning sources and circumstances in clinical and billing contexts.
