About ICD-9-CM 969.03
969.03 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. 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 T43.221A (Poisoning by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T43.222A (Poisoning by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T43.223A (Poisoning by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
