ICD-10-CM T60.8X2D: Toxic effect of other pesticides, intentional self-harm, subsequent encounter

ICD-10-CM code T60.8X2D is an active terminology concept representing the toxic effect of other pesticides due to intentional self-harm during a subsequent encounter. It is classified under the semantic type of injury or poisoning and has a parent concept of T60.8X2. Pesticide self-poisoning presents notable global health challenges. 1 2

Plain-language overview

The code T60.8X2D corresponds to a diagnosis involving a toxic effect from other pesticides resulting from intentional self-harm, specifically noting that the patient is being seen for a subsequent encounter. 1

What this code represents

Coding details

The terminology record lists T60.8X2D alongside T60.8X2S, with the published abbreviation for T60.8X2D specifically indicating a subsequent encounter for the toxic effect of other pesticides from intentional self-harm. 1 3

Documentation considerations

The terminology record establishes the code's preferred name as toxic effect of other pesticides, intentional self-harm, subsequent encounter, providing the specific clinical and encounter parameters for this diagnosis. 1

Clinical context

Agricultural pesticides are substances used for self-poisoning, and ingestion of these chemicals contributes to suicide patterns and carries an overall case fatality ranging from ten to twenty percent. 2

The economic and indirect healthcare effects of self-harm following pesticide ingestion increase the overall burden of this issue, which is notably observed in rural areas of developing nations. 2

What the sources add

While the terminology record defines the code structure and semantic type, the public health literature adds operational context by describing the severe fatality and economic burdens associated with pesticide self-poisoning. 1 2

Comparing the sources reveals that the terminology record provides the precise hierarchical code definition, whereas the healthcare data reference lists the code alongside related sequelae codes without clinical context. 1 3
