T63.07Toxic effect of venom of other Australian snake

T63.07 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for toxic effect of venom of other Australian snake. It belongs to category T63 (toxic effect of contact with venomous animals and plants), 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 T63.0, choose T63.07 (venom of other Australian snake) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified snake venom (T63.00), rattlesnake venom (T63.01), coral snake venom (T63.02), taipan venom (T63.03), cobra venom (T63.04), venom of other North and South American snake (T63.06), venom of other African and Asian snake (T63.08) and venom of other snake (T63.09).

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.
