About ICD-9-CM 965.09
965.09 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by other opiates and related narcotics. 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 16 ICD-10-CM codes, such as T40.2X1A (Poisoning by other opioids, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T40.2X2A (Poisoning by other opioids, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T40.2X3A (Poisoning by other opioids, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
