ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
962.0 — Poisoning by adrenal cortical steroids
About ICD-9-CM 962.0
962.0 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by adrenal cortical steroids. 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 T38.0X1A (Poisoning by glucocorticoids and synthetic analogues, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T38.0X2A (Poisoning by glucocorticoids and synthetic analogues, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T38.0X3A (Poisoning by glucocorticoids and synthetic analogues, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
