Toxic effect of other noxious substances eaten as food (T62)

Browse all the diagnosis codes used for toxic effect of other noxious substances eaten as food (t62). For easy navigation, the diagnosis codes are sorted in alphabetical order and grouped by sections. Each section is clearly marked with its description, and the corresponding three-digit code range. This format makes it simple to browse diagnosis codes in this chapter or section and find what you're looking for. We've also added green checkmark icons to label billable codes, and red warning icons for non-billable ones. This makes it easy to identify which codes can be billed.

Clinical Information

Chelidonium majus - A plant species of the family PAPAVERACEAE. The common name greater celandine is similar to lesser celandine (Ficaria verna), and celandine poppy (Stylophorum diphyllum). It has been used in folk medicine and its latex contains biologically active compounds including BENZOPHENANTHRIDINES alkaloids (e.g., Chelerythrine).

Cicuta - A plant genus of the family APIACEAE. It is a source of cicutoxin.

Coffee - A beverage made from ground COFFEA beans (SEEDS) infused in hot water. It generally contains CAFFEINE and THEOPHYLLINE unless it is decaffeinated.

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.

Conium - A plant genus of the family APIACEAE that is a source of coniine.

Cytisus - A plant genus of the family FABACEAE that is sometimes called broom because of the shape of the plant. Members produce SPARTEINE.

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.

Hemlock - Any of several poisonous plants, commonly called poison hemlock, of the CICUTA or CONIUM genus. The hemlock tree (TSUGA) is completely unrelated being a coniferous tree of the pine family.

Jatropha - A plant genus of the family EUPHORBIACEAE. Members contain jatrophone and other diterpenes.

Laburnum - A plant genus of the family FABACEAE named after the drooping clusters of flowers.

Lobelia - A plant genus of the family CAMPANULACEAE used medicinally and is a source of LOBELINE.

Melia azedarach - A plant species of the genus MELIA, family MELIACEAE, which is toxic to insects. The name is very similar to Melia azadirachta (AZADIRACHTA).

Prunus - A plant genus in the family ROSACEAE, order Rosales, subclass Rosidae. It is best known as a source of edible fruits such as apricot, plum, peach, cherry, and almond.

Prunus africana - A plant species in the family ROSACEAE. The bark extract known as pygeum is an ingredient in FOLK REMEDIES.

Prunus armeniaca - A plant species in the family ROSACEAE. It is the source of apricot fruit.

Prunus avium - A plant species in the family ROSACEAE. It is the source of the sweet cherry fruit.

Prunus domestica - A plant species in the family ROSACEAE. It is a tree that produces fruits called plums.

Prunus dulcis - A plant species in the family ROSACEAE, genus Prunus which produces edible seeds called almonds.

Prunus persica - A plant species in the family ROSACEAE. It is a tree that produces peach fruit.

Pulsatilla - A plant genus of the family RANUNCULACEAE. Members contain cernuosides and other oleanane and hederagenin saponins.

Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids - A group of ALKALOIDS, characterized by a nitrogen-containing necine, occurring mainly in plants of the BORAGINACEAE; COMPOSITAE; and LEGUMINOSAE plant families. They can be activated in the liver by hydrolysis of the ester and desaturation of the necine base to reactive electrophilic pyrrolic CYTOTOXINS.

Ranunculus - A plant genus of the family RANUNCULACEAE that contains protoanemonin, anemonin, and ranunculin.

Ricinus communis - A species in the family EUPHORBIACEAE that is the source of CASTOR OIL.

Senna Plant - A plant genus of the family FABACEAE. SENNA EXTRACT is obtained from members of this genus. Members contain ANTHRAQUINONES and have been an ingredient in laxatives (CATHARTICS). Many species of the CASSIA genus have been reclassified into this genus. This bush should not be confused with the Cassia tree (CINNAMOMUM).

Solanine - A mixture of alpha-chaconine and alpha-solanine, found in SOLANACEAE plants.

Tsuga - A plant genus in the family PINACEAE, order Pinales, class Pinopsida, division Coniferophyta. They are coniferous evergreen trees and should not be confused with hemlock plants (CICUTA and CONIUM).

Veratrum - A plant genus of the family Melanthiaceae with roots that contain VERATRUM ALKALOIDS used as emetics, parasiticides, antihypertensives. The common name black hellebore is used for both Veratrum nigrum and HELLEBORUS NIGER.

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.

Instructional Notations

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.

• allergic reaction to food, such as:
• anaphylactic shock reaction due to adverse food reaction T78.0
• bacterial food borne intoxications A05
• dermatitis L23.6 L25.4 L27.2
• food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome K52.21
• food protein-induced enteropathy K52.22
• gastroenteritis noninfective K52.29
• toxic effect of aflatoxin and other mycotoxins T64
• toxic effect of cyanides T65.0
• toxic effect of hydrogen cyanide T57.3
• toxic effect of mercury T56.1

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.

• The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T62

7th Character

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

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