    ICD-10-CM Code For Toxic Effect Of Other Noxious Substances Eaten As Food: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group T62 includes toxic effects caused by various noxious substances ingested as food, such as plant, animal, or contaminant toxins that induce systemic or organ-specific poisoning. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical presentations ranging from mild gastrointestinal upset to severe organ dysfunction, capturing severity, organ involvement, and complications related to foodborne toxins. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM T62 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

    ICD-10-CM T62: Toxic Effect Of Other Noxious Substances Eaten As Food Overview

    The diagnoses in this group describe toxic effects from ingestion of nonmedicinal substances present in food that cause systemic or organ-specific poisoning. These conditions primarily affect the gastrointestinal, hepatic, neurological, or cardiovascular systems depending on the toxin. Accurate coding is important to support appropriate claim adjudication and reflect clinical complexity for reimbursement.

    When to Use

    Use a code from this group when a patient presents with clinical poisoning attributable to a noxious substance eaten as food and the ingestion is documented or reasonably suspected. Select codes that reflect the identified substance when available and document associated organ-specific effects or complications to support clinical severity.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • An adult presents to the emergency department with severe vomiting, diarrhea, hypotension, and altered mental status after eating wild mushrooms collected from a forest earlier that day. The acute toxic ingestion with systemic gastrointestinal and neurologic symptoms prompts emergency evaluation, stabilization, and coding for a toxic effect from a nonmedicinal food source; sequencing reflects the initial encounter for acute poisoning. Typical codes: T62.0X1A, T62.0X1S
    • A child is brought to urgent care with a delayed-onset hepatic injury and jaundice developing several days after consumption of improperly canned fish at a family meal; the child is stable but requires outpatient hepatology follow-up. Because the condition represents toxic effects of a foodborne toxin with later complications and subsequent care encounters, a code from the group indicating subsequent or sequela encounters is assigned to capture the ongoing toxic effect. Typical codes: T62.1X2D, T62.1X4D
    • An elderly nursing home resident with chronic dysphagia aspirates contaminated food and develops aspiration pneumonitis requiring hospitalization; during admission the toxic effect of the ingested noxious food is documented as a contributing factor to respiratory compromise and must be coded as a comorbid toxic exposure. Typical codes: T62.8X1A, T62.8X3A
