About ICD-9-CM 968.4
968.4 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by other and unspecified general anesthetics. 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 T41.201A (Poisoning by unspecified general anesthetics, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T41.202A (Poisoning by unspecified general anesthetics, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T41.203A (Poisoning by unspecified general anesthetics, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
