About ICD-9-CM 988.2
988.2 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for toxic effect of berries and other plants eaten as food. 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 8 ICD-10-CM codes, such as T62.1X1A (Toxic effect of ingested berries, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T62.1X2A (Toxic effect of ingested berries, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T62.1X3A (Toxic effect of ingested berries, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
