coding-icd10
Suggests candidate ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes (and ICD-10-PCS procedure codes) for diagnoses and procedures extracted by OpenMed, with rationale and a human-coder caveat. Use when the user wants to code a problem list, map a diagnosis span to a billable ICD-10-CM code, route a finding to the right chapter, cross-walk ICD-9 via GEMs, or pre-fill an encounter for coder review. Trigger keywords: ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, diagnosis coding, billable code, GEMs, problem list coding, encounter diagnosis, chapter range, CMS code lookup. references/icd10-chapters.md holds the chapter/section ranges.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Coding OpenMed diagnoses to ICD-10-CM / PCS Suggest **ICD-10-CM** diagnosis codes (and **ICD-10-PCS** for inpatient procedures) for the diagnosis and procedure spans OpenMed extracts. This is **decision support for a certified coder**, not autonomous billing: OpenMed + this skill narrow the candidate set and explain *why*; a human validates the final, billable code. ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS are **public domain**. CMS publishes the complete annual code files, addenda, and indexes for free. (CPT/HCPCS procedure codes are **AMA-licensed and restricted** — out of scope here; obtain those separately under the user's own AMA license.) ## When to use - A note yields diagnoses ("type 2 diabetes with diabetic CKD", "community- acquired pneumonia") and you want candidate ICD-10-CM codes plus rationale. - You need to **route** a span to the right chapter quickly (see `references/icd10-chapters.md` for code ranges). - You hold legacy ICD-9 codes and need an approximate **GEM** cross-walk. - You are pre-filling encounter diagnoses for a coder's review queue. For clinical-meaning codes use `mapping-to-snomed`; for HCC/risk capture use `coding-hcc-risk-adjustment`; this skill is for the ICD-10

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add maziyarpanahi/openmed --skill coding-icd10 --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From maziyarpanahi/openmed, a repository with 4,851 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
