T63.81Toxic effect of contact with venomous frog

T63.81 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for toxic effect of contact with venomous frog. 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 T63.8 (toxic effect of contact with other venomous animals), T63.81 is specifically for toxic effect of contact with venomous frog. Related codes cover venomous toad (T63.82), other venomous amphibian (T63.83) and other venomous animals (T63.89).

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.

Don't report T63.81 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: contact with nonvenomous frog (W62.0).

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