FREE ICD-10 Lookup
If you're looking for a good comprehensive ICD-10 code list, I've got a great resource for you - HIPPASpace. Its a resource I'd used before to get NPI numbers for referring physicians, but hadn't used in a while until this week. When I went to the site they had this magical incredible FREE ICD-10 lookup and its just too cool not to share.
You can enter a diagnosis like "fibromyalgia" or a simple category such as "pain" and get a full list of current ICD-10 codes. Once you get the list you can choose a "mapping" option which will compare the chosen ICD-10 codes to current ICD-9 codes as well to help you understand if you've translated the code appropriately.
ICD-10 codes are much more complicated than ICD-9. In physical medicine, for instance, the 7 digit codes include not only coding for the affected body part and type of pain/injury but also whether it is an initial treatment or follow up treatment for the injury so it is important to understand the coding language and sequence enough to choose correctly.
Still, for a quick way to just get the numbers and start translating what you have in ICD-9 to an initial subset of ICD-10 codes, this is a great free resource.
