The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T63

ingestion of toxic animal or plant (T61.-, T62.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with T63.2X

W64.XXXAExposure to other animate mechanical forces, initial encounter
W64.XXXDExposure to other animate mechanical forces, subsequent encounter
W64.XXXSExposure to other animate mechanical forces, sequela
