Highest specificity code: H65.06 Recurrent acute serous otitis media, bilateral
(Complete codes are bolded.)Note: Approximately 40% of the new codes are due to laterality.
Proposed Chapter 22
26
Three methods:1. Specialty specific common codes list (but don’t stop there!)2. GEMs code map (don’t stop here either!)3. Alphabetic index (still not safe!)
Always confirm the code using the Tabular List
Finding the ICD-10 code
27
1. Common Codes
28
2. GEMs
29
2. GEMs
General 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
30
3. Alphabetic index
31
ExamplePatient 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:

2. GEMs

3. Alphabetic

On October 1, 2015, it is: H65.01 Acute serous otitis media, right ear
NOTE:• Common codes lists are just an expert guess• GEMs often leads to unspecified codes• Alphabetic Index often gives incomplete or multiple options

Always confirm the code using the tabular list..then be sure to check instructional notes and guidelines
Finding the ICD-10 code
38
The next step for converting to ICD-10
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

ExampleThis 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. Initial care visit.
