About W62

W62 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for contact with nonvenomous amphibians. It belongs to block W50-W64 (exposure to animate mechanical forces) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: W62.0 (frogs), W62.1 (toads) and W62.9 (amphibians).

Don't report W62 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: contact with venomous amphibians (T63.81-T63.83).

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