The best way for this to work would be to allow searching by mapped code like 
maternalconceptlab.com does. These codes change and so should not be the 
primary code. It is possible to add the code as a non-unique synonym but it 
becomes a maintenance nightmare to keep track of these terms when things 
change. 

At CIEL I would like to understand better the use case people are using icd 
for. Perhaps we should build out a common set of admin codes with links to 
clinical concepts that would fall under them.
