The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code I42.9 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
