About the General Equivalence Mappings Crossover Tool

The General Equivalence Mappings tool is a standardized crossover resource developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). It was created to help healthcare providers, coders, payers, and software vendors accurately transition between ICD-9 and ICD-10 diagnosis codes.

This ICD-10 to ICD-9 crosswalk tool supports both forward and backward mapping, making it valuable for converting legacy data, conducting audits, updating medical coding systems, and ensuring compliance with ICD-10 standards. GEMs are especially helpful when analyzing historical claims, aligning reimbursement logic, or migrating between systems.

Because not all ICD codes have a direct match, users should interpret each mapping carefully. Some ICD-10 to ICD-9 conversions may require clinical judgment or additional documentation to ensure coding accuracy.
