About T60.9

T60.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for toxic effect of unspecified pesticide. It belongs to category T60 (toxic effect of pesticides), block T51-T65 (toxic effects of substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T60, choose T60.9 (unspecified pesticide) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: organophosphate and carbamate insecticides (T60.0), halogenated insecticides (T60.1), other insecticides (T60.2), herbicides and fungicides (T60.3), rodenticides (T60.4) and other pesticides (T60.8).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
