The conversion from ICD-9 to ICD-10 adds a significant increase in specificity to clinical diagnoses and procedures. CMS published GEMs (General Equivalency Mappings) files as a starting point to identify ICD-10 codes. However, GEMs tables do not easily identify all possible codes to be considered in a clinical situation. AXIOM has created I-Search, a search tool which is based on GEMs tables but has generated additional code relationships that presents the user with all code possibilities.
The I-Search tool significantly reduces the time it takes for Payer organizations to perform benefit mapping, validation rules, report conversion and data analysis translations. In addition, a Provider organization may use this tool to translate superbills, paper forms, job aides, and application audits.
