About ICD-9-CM 961.6
961.6 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by anthelmintics. 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 T37.4X1A (Poisoning by anthelminthics, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T37.4X2A (Poisoning by anthelminthics, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T37.4X3A (Poisoning by anthelminthics, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
