Example #3: Mapping a One to Multiple Results Code

Find the ICD-9 code that you need to map to ICD-10 and enter the number into the ICD-9 code field.
You may choose to use the drop-down list of Diagnosis Codes or simply enter an ICD-9 code into the field
When you select a diagnosis code from the drop-down list, the Mapping occurs automatically and you do not need to click the Crosswalk button
Click the “Crosswalk” button (if needed) and the results will appear
In the example above, ICD-9 code 514 returns multiple results for equivalent ICD-10 codes. Both of these ICD-10 codes are approximately equivalent to the ICD-9 code.
Looking at the final column, note that both results have the Approximate checkbox checked.
From this information we can see that there are multiple results. Either of these ICD-10 codes are approximately equivalent to the ICD-9 code.
Open up each available option by clicking the ICD-10 Code. You will be taken to that code’s Tabular Listing.
The code is now seen in its position in the Tabular Listing allowing you to view it.
Since this ICD-10 code is only approximately equivalent, study the surrounding codes closely to see if a more appropriate, more specific or more detailed code exists.
For this example: the added option exists to identify the diagnosis to include more specificity.
Return to the Mappings section and click on the second code to view it in the Tabular list. After analyzing both results you can (hopefully) determine the best code for your specific case.
