Mapping tables for ICD-10-AM and ACHI
- Backward maps – provides equivalent code for new codes in the newer edition
- Forward maps – provides equivalent codes for deleted codes in the newer edition
Both of these types of maps provide an equivalent code that best matches the concept from a clinical perspective (called historical maps) as well as an AR-DRG perspective (called logical maps). Sometimes the historical map and the logical map are the same code.
