About ICD-9-CM 972.9
972.9 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by other and unspecified agents primarily affecting the cardiovascular system. 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 12 ICD-10-CM codes, such as T46.1X1A (Poisoning by calcium-channel blockers, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T46.1X2A (Poisoning by calcium-channel blockers, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T46.1X3A (Poisoning by calcium-channel blockers, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
