About ICD-9-CM 965.8
965.8 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by other specified analgesics and antipyretics. 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 T39.8X1A (Poisoning by other nonopioid analgesics and antipyretics, not elsewhere classified, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T39.8X2A (Poisoning by other nonopioid analgesics and antipyretics, not elsewhere classified, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T39.8X3A (Poisoning by other nonopioid analgesics and antipyretics, not elsewhere classified, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
