About ICD-9-CM 972.5
972.5 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by other vasodilators. 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 T46.7X1A (Poisoning by peripheral vasodilators, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T46.7X2A (Poisoning by peripheral vasodilators, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T46.7X3A (Poisoning by peripheral vasodilators, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
