Our hospital and clinics are looking for a product or a few to look at that will cross walk ICD 9 to ICD 10 and ICD 10 to ICD 9. If any one has a few suggestions I would greatly appreciate.
 
The problem with "cross walks" is the lack of specificity in ICD9. When you try to cross a non-specific code to ICD10, you will get a non-specific code as the result when there may be more specific codes available.

AAPC is doing some mapping services you can find on the ICD10 tab.
 
I agree, you have to remember that we will have a 668% increase in the number of codes. Crosswalking from ICD-9 to ICD-10 will get you close to the code you need. So at least you would be in the ballpark.
