ICD-10 Transition Conversion Tool
We are pleased to announce the availability of the Conversion tool for the ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM Transition.

The toolkit was developed by UCD under funding from the Center for Surveillance, Epidemiology and Laboratory Services (CSELS) within the Office of Public Health Scientific Services (OPHSS) at the CDC.
Information & a webinar on how to use this tool can be found on NAHDO’s website:
