ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
971.2 — Poisoning by sympathomimetics [adrenergics]
About ICD-9-CM 971.2
971.2 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for poisoning by sympathomimetics [adrenergics]. 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 T44.4X1A (Poisoning by predominantly alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists, accidental (unintentional), initial encounter), T44.4X2A (Poisoning by predominantly alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists, intentional self-harm, initial encounter) and T44.4X3A (Poisoning by predominantly alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists, assault, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
