Toxic effect of ingested (parts of) plant(s), undet, init

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse health effects due to ingesting an unidentified or unspecified plant or plant part. The "undetermined" nature indicates that the specific plant causing the toxicity is not known, or the intent (accidental vs. intentional) is unclear. This is an initial encounter for the toxic event.

Use this code when a patient presents with symptoms of plant poisoning, but the specific plant ingested cannot be identified by the patient, family, or medical staff. This is also appropriate when the circumstances surrounding the ingestion (e.g., accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) are not yet determined. It should be assigned for the first time the patient is seen for this particular toxic event.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the plant is unknown or unspecified to justify the "undetermined" nature.
• Do not use this code if a specific plant is identified; instead, use a more specific T62.XX code.
• Remember the "A" for initial encounter; subsequent care for the same event would use "D" or "S" as appropriate.
