ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
969.6 — Poisoning by psychodysleptics (hallucinogens)
About ICD-9-CM 969.6
969.6 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by psychodysleptics (hallucinogens). 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 15 ICD-10-CM codes, such as T40.8X2A (Poisoning by lysergide [LSD], intentional self-harm, initial encounter), T40.8X3A (Poisoning by lysergide [LSD], assault, initial encounter) and T40.8X4A (Poisoning by lysergide [LSD], undetermined, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
