972.1 — Poisoning by cardiotonic glycosides and drugs of similar action
About ICD-9-CM 972.1
972.1 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by cardiotonic glycosides and drugs of similar action. 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 T46.0X1A (Poisoning by cardiac-stimulant glycosides and drugs of similar action, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T46.0X2A (Poisoning by cardiac-stimulant glycosides and drugs of similar action, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T46.0X3A (Poisoning by cardiac-stimulant glycosides and drugs of similar action, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
