Example #5: Mapping a One to Multiple Scenarios Conversion

• 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 dropdown 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, the ICD-9 code 806.00 returns multiple results for equivalent ICD-10 codes which are organized by Scenarios and Choice Lists.
  
  When multiple Scenarios exist, you must first choose the correct Scenario. Then you manage the Choice Lists within that Scenario exactly as you would if there were not multiple scenarios.
  
  For this example let’s assume that the injury was at C1 of the spine, which is represented by Scenario 1.
  The codes that are subsequently chosen from the Choice Lists will be from the Choice Lists shown for Scenario 1 (never mix codes from different Scenarios).
  
  Also remember to look at the final column to note whether results have the Approximate checkbox checked.
• For each individual Choice List, one of the listed ICD-10 codes must be used.
  
  For this example, two codes must be used: You must use the single code from Choice List 1 and one of the two codes from Choice List 2.
• 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.
  If the ICD-10 code is only approximately equivalent, study the surrounding codes closely to see if a more appropriate and specific code exists.
  
• Once a code has been chosen from the Choice List 1, return to the Mappings tab and proceed to Choice List 2 to look for the most appropriate code. Continue this until one code has been chosen from each numbered Choice List.
• The list of codes that you have found must be used together to most closely equate to the single ICD-9 code.
  For this example: Using the ICD-9 code of 896.2 roughly equates to using the Scenario 1 ICD-10 codes of S14.101A and either S12.000A or S12.001A
