Good News• Don’t Panic and follow these steps as you go into ICD

10:– Type the ICD-9 code you’d normally use into a conversion

tool to get an ICD-10 code to use as a starting point. – Review the Tabular List to determine if there are codes with

greater levels of specificity available. • Please pay attention to chapter and category headings for

additional coding instructions.– If you can, code for the actual condition (e.g., patellar

tendinitis) instead of the result (e.g., knee pain). Note: at this point in time CMS has indicated that we do not have to use external cause code, chapter 20, so relax.
