About ICD-9-CM 967.8
967.8 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by other sedatives and hypnotics. 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 T42.6X1A (Poisoning by other antiepileptic and sedative-hypnotic drugs, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T42.6X2A (Poisoning by other antiepileptic and sedative-hypnotic drugs, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T42.6X3A (Poisoning by other antiepileptic and sedative-hypnotic drugs, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
