About ICD-9-CM 960.5
960.5 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning of cephalosporin group. 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 T36.1X1A (Poisoning by cephalosporins and other beta-lactam antibiotics, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T36.1X2A (Poisoning by cephalosporins and other beta-lactam antibiotics, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T36.1X3A (Poisoning by cephalosporins and other beta-lactam antibiotics, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
