ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
960.8 — Poisoning by other specified antibiotics
About ICD-9-CM 960.8
960.8 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by other specified antibiotics. 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 T36.5X1A (Poisoning by aminoglycosides, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T36.5X2A (Poisoning by aminoglycosides, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T36.5X3A (Poisoning by aminoglycosides, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
