About W62.9

W62.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for contact with other nonvenomous amphibians. It belongs to category W62 (contact with nonvenomous amphibians), 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.

Within W62, choose W62.9 (other nonvenomous amphibians) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: nonvenomous frogs (W62.0) and nonvenomous toads (W62.1).

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.
