About ICD-9-CM 960.0
960.0 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by penicillins. 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 T36.0X1A (Poisoning by penicillins, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T36.0X2A (Poisoning by penicillins, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T36.0X3A (Poisoning by penicillins, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
