Coder Training As quoted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Robert E. Nolan Company performed a study on challenges of ICD-10 implementation and estimated that each full time coder will need up to 40 hours of ICD-10 training. Physicians and other clinicians will need additional training, ranging between 12 and 80 hours each
Due to the clinical nature of ICD-10-CM a strong understanding of, or

General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) Mappings between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM classification systems have been developed to facilitate the transition from one code set to another. Public domain diagnosis code reference mapping files referred to as Diagnosis Code Set General Equivalence Mappings (GEMs) have been released by HCHS. There are to files available allowing for bidirectional mappings.
