W62 — Contact with nonvenomous amphibians

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

W62 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for contact with nonvenomous amphibians. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.

This code requires a 7th character

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category W62

A: initial encounter
D: subsequent encounter
S: sequela

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

contact with venomous amphibians (T63.81-T63.83)

Other codes that can never be billed with W62

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at W62. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading W62 alone.

T63.81Toxic effect of contact with venomous frog
T63.82Toxic effect of contact with venomous toad
T63.83Toxic effect of contact with other venomous amphibian

Risk adjustment

W62 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead W62

3 child codes. Green means billable.
