961.9 — Poisoning by other and unspecified anti-infectives
About ICD-9-CM 961.9
961.9 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by other and unspecified anti-infectives. 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 8 ICD-10-CM codes, such as T37.8X1A (Poisoning by other specified systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T37.8X2A (Poisoning by other specified systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T37.8X3A (Poisoning by other specified systemic anti-infectives and antiparasitics, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
