Contact with nonvenomous toads, subsequent encounter

This code indicates a follow-up encounter for an injury or adverse effect resulting from contact with a nonvenomous toad. The initial incident has already been addressed, and the patient is now presenting for further evaluation, treatment, or monitoring related to the original exposure.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being seen for ongoing symptoms, complications, or follow-up care directly attributable to a prior contact with a nonvenomous toad. Examples include wound checks, management of persistent skin irritation, or monitoring for delayed reactions after the initial presentation.

• Always use in conjunction with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to fully describe the circumstances of the injury.
• Ensure the seventh character "D" is correctly applied for subsequent encounters.
• Do not use for initial encounters; refer to the "A" seventh character for those cases.
