CMS already has GEM files on their website (General Equivalency Mapping). Here is the link to their page about ICD-10 - the links to the GEM files is on the left.

Also, if you have Encoder Pro or another on-line coding tool, they have mapping also.
Hope this helps,

If you are looking for a quick easy way to work with the GEMS files you can do so on our website at: https://www.aapc.com/ICD-10/codes/index.aspx
The AAPC code translator tool contains the GEMS files for forward and mapping on the diagnosis side. This tool is free to use.

ICD-9 codes with NO ICD-10 codes
I am having trouble with a whole list of ICD-9 codes that do not map to ICD-10. Some, like 365.70 was for staging and is no longer required in ICD-10, as stageing is included in the ICD-10 codes.
However alot of the Accidental poisoning codes (E855.9, E86.20, etc) do not map to ICD-10. Why not?
Some of the codes (E852.1, E853.8, etc) do seem to crosswalk to T42.6X1, with a 7th digit of A, D or S.... but the mapping tools do not show this. Why not?
And all of the E codes for 'therapeutic use' do not cross over to anything in ICD-10. Is that term just no longer used so there is no mapping to ICD-10?
Feeling overwhelmed.

It may be best to just read and study the ICD-10 guidelines, rather than trying to "map" the ICD-9 codes to ICD-10. It may be less overwhelming for you. As you are finding, not all ICD-9 codes are going to have an exact "match" to an ICD-10 code.
I hope you find this suggestion helpful.
