About ICD-9-CM 796.0

796.0 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for nonspecific abnormal toxicological findings. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.

The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 4 ICD-10-CM codes, such as R82.5 (Elevated urine levels of drugs, medicaments and biological substances), R82.6 (Abnormal urine levels of substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source) and R89.2 (Abnormal level of other drugs, medicaments and biological substances in specimens from other organs, systems and tissues). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
