2014 General Equivalence Mappings Posted by CMS

The 2014 General Equivalence Mappings (GEMs) for diagnosis codes and for inpatient procedure codes are now posted on the CMS website.

The GEMs show the mapping between ICD-9-CM and the appropriate ICD-10 code(s). There are both forward (ICD-9-CM to ICD-10) and backward (ICD-10 to ICD-9-CM) mappings. The 2014 GEMs are based on the 2014 ICD-9-CM and 2014 ICD-10 codes.

The 2014 Reimbursement Mappings will be posted in October 2013.
