About T64.8
T64.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for toxic effect of other mycotoxin food contaminants. It belongs to category T64 (toxic effect of aflatoxin and other mycotoxin food contaminants), 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 T64, choose T64.8 (other mycotoxin food contaminants) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: aflatoxin (T64.0).
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.
