This update is part of the ICD-10 MS-DRG Conversion Project. In the Conversion Project, CMS is using the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMs) to convert CMS payment systems. CMS is sharing information learned from this project with other organizations facing similar conversion projects. Please note that the final ICD-10 MS-DRGs will be subject to formal rulemaking.
