    Study Notes

    ICD-10-CM Coding Manual

    • The ICD-10-CM manual has two main sections: the Alphabetic Index and the Tabular List.
    • The Alphabetic Index lists diseases and injuries alphabetically, with corresponding codes.
    • The Tabular List organizes diagnostic codes into chapters based on body systems or conditions.

    Alphabetic Index

    • The MAIN TERM is the bolded word in the Alphabetic Index, representing a disease or condition.
    • SUBTERMS are indented descriptions under the MAIN TERM.
    • The Alphabetic Index provides corresponding codes for each entry.

    Tabular List

    • The Tabular List verifies the code found in the Alphabetic Index.
    • It's a list of alphanumeric diagnostic codes organized into chapters based on body systems or conditions.

    Manifestation of a Disease or Condition

    • A MANIFESTATION is a sign, symptom, or secondary process caused by a disease or condition.
    • For example, blurred vision can be a MANIFESTATION of a headache.

    Neoplasms

    • Neoplasms are abnormal masses that can be benign or cancerous.
    • The TABLE OF NEOPLASMS within the Alphabetic Index lists codes by anatomical site.

    V Codes

    • V codes are found in Chapter 20 of the Tabular List.
    • They represent external causes of morbidity, the situation that caused the condition or injury.
    • They may be reported as secondary codes.

    Z Codes

    • Z codes are found in Chapter 21 of the Tabular List.
    • They are used for factors influencing healthcare status and contact with healthcare services.
    • Examples include encounters for annual physical examinations or chemotherapy administration.

    Table of Drugs and Chemicals

    • This table lists classifications of drugs and chemical substances alphabetically.
    • It's used to assign codes for diagnoses resulting from drug or chemical exposure.
