2. GEMsGeneral Equivalence Mappings (GEMs)
o Created by the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the CDC
o Forward maps from ICD-9 to ICD-10
o Backward maps from ICD-10 to ICD-9
o Approximations only
3. Alphabetic Index

Example #1Patient is an 18-month old fussy, white female with a three-day history of otalgia, runny nose and fever of 100. There is no exposure to tobacco smoke. Otoscopic examination reveals acute serous otitis media of the right ear. Assessment: Acute serous otitis media, right ear. On September 30, 2015, the diagnosis is 381.01 Acute serous otitis media.
On October 1, 2015, it is:

NOTE:• Common codes lists are just an expert guess• GEMs often leads to unspecified codes• Alphabetic Index often gives incomplete or multiple options 22

1. Go to the Tabular Listo Look at the following:
1. Notes2. Includes and alternative wording3. Excludes14. Excludes25. Code Also, Code First, Use Additional6. Seventh character extensions
2. Repeat at the level of the code, then the subcategory, category, block, and chapter
3. Reverse map for confirmation if necessary

Tabular List
Example #2This 30-year old white male sustained a right knee injury while playing basketball on Saturday. He was seen in our urgent care clinic and sent for MRI of the right knee to rule out meniscal tear. MRI revealed right bucket-handle medial meniscal tear and tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Patient will be scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.
On September 30, 2015, the diagnosis is 836.0 Bucket handle tear, meniscus, knee
