General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set.

What is the ICd 9 code for arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy is classified to ICD-9-CM subcategory 80.2. A fourth digit is required to identify the joint being scoped. A code from this subcategory is assigned when it is the only procedure performed (eg, diagnostic procedure). If a more definitive procedure is done at the same time, a code for the arthroscopic approach is not assigned. According to Coding Clinic, surgical approaches (eg, scopes) are not coded if a more definitive procedure is performed. Therefore, if a procedure was done via a scope, assign a code for the procedure (open) performed until specific codes for the arthroscopic approach are created, but do not assign a separate code for the scope ( AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM, 1993, first quarter, page 23).
