ICD-9
The ICD-9 was published by the WHO in 1977. At this time, the National Center for Health Statistics created an extension of it so the system could be used for morbidity as well as mortality. This extension was called “ICD-9-CM”, with the CM standing for “Clinical Modification”.
There are three volumes of the ICD-9-CM:
ICD-10
Work on ICD-10 began in 1983 and was completed in 1992.
Adoption was relatively swift in most of the world, but not in the United States. Since 1988, the USA had required ICD-9-CM codes for Medicare and Medicaid claims, and most of the rest of the American medical industry followed suit.
On January 1, 1999, the ICD-10 (without clinical extensions) was adopted for reporting mortality, but ICD-9-CM was still used for morbidity. Meanwhile, NCHS received permission from the WHO to create a clinical modification of the ICD 9 to ICD-10 convert Tool, and has produced drafts of the following two systems:
ICD-10-CM, for diagnosis codes, is intended to replace volumes 1 and 2. A draft was completed in 2003.
ICD-10-PCS, for procedure codes, is intended to replace volume 3. A final draft was completed in 2000.
However, neither of these systems is currently in place. There is not yet an anticipated implementation date to phase out the use of ICD-9-CM. There will be a two year implementation window once the final notice to implement has been published in the Federal Register. [3]. A detailed timeline is provided here.
Other countries have created their own extensions to ICD-10. For example, Australia introduced their first edition of “ICD-10-AM” in 1998, and Canada introduced “ICD-10-CA” in 2000.

The main source I used in developing the ICD-9 to ICD-10 code conversion tool was General Equivalence Mappings (GEMs) put together by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), AHIMA, the American Hospital Association, and 3M Health Information Systems.
It is important to keep in mind that this translation tool does not produce exact matches in all cases. Just as some words in, say, English don’t have an exact correspondent in Spanish, ICD-9 or ICD-10 code translations produce, more often than not, an approximate match or even multiple matches (see examples below). And this should be no surprise given there are almost five times more ICD-10 codes than ICD-9 ones.

ICD-10 is not an update to an existing code set; it is a whole new code set. The ICD-10 code sets have fundamental changes in structure and concepts that make them very different from ICD-9. Because of these differences, it is important to develop a preliminary understanding of the changes from ICD-9 to ICD-10 Convert tools. The ICD-9 classification has about 13,000 codes. In the ICD-10 classification of codes, there are over 65,000 codes. The variation of codes is staggering.
ICD-10 may require that more than one code is assigned to a condition. Virtually every diagnosis code will be different and long-standing coding guidance will not apply to ICD-10. The biggest challenge will be to “unlearn” ICD-9 coding guidance and go back to basics to learn ICD-10 coding.
