*The White Papers for the suggested elements are for guidance. The NEMSIS Technical Assistance Center (TAC) will not be creating additional suggested or defined lists for these elements due to the large quantity of possible codes.
ICD-10 Website Resources – ICD10Data.com is a free reference designed for the lookup of all current American ICD-10 (diagnosis) and ICD-10-PCS (procedure) medical billing codes. Reference ICD-10-CM codes for most NEMSIS version 3 elements. ICD-10-PCS codes are used for Medical/Surgical History.
RxNorm Website – RxNav is a free reference for looking up RxNorm codes. RxNorm codes are used for medication elements in NEMSIS.
SNOMED-CT Website – The SNOMED-CT Browser is a free resource for looking up SNOMED codes. SNOMED codes are used for procedure elements in NEMSIS.
External Standards Maintenance – NEMSIS Roll-up Process for National Code Sets – The NEMSIS TAC leverages existing structures within national code sets to provide code “roll-ups” to facilitate data use and analysis at the State and National levels. A draft technical specification of that process is provided here. (Updated 10/02/2024)
