About T62.2

T62.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for toxic effect of other ingested (parts of) plant(s). It belongs to category T62 (toxic effect of other noxious substances eaten as food), 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 1 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T62, choose T62.2 (other ingested (parts of) plant(s)) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: ingested mushrooms (T62.0), ingested berries (T62.1), other specified noxious substances eaten as food (T62.8) and unspecified noxious substance eaten as food (T62.9).

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.
