Indicates that a specific diagnosis cannot be found and "other" or "other specified" applies.

Indicates that detailed coding information is missing and "unspecified" applies.

Indicates that additional information or modifiers are needed to assign a specific code.

Enclose information that doesn't affect the code assignment.

Used for manifestation codes and alternative terms. Indicates a condition that results from another condition. The resulting condition is reported as a secondary code.

Clarifies that related terms are included under a specific category.

Indicates two codes that cannot be reported together as they exclude each other.

Allows coding of both conditions if the documentation supports it. Signals conditions that are not mutually exclusive.

The index may contain additional terms not listed in the tabular list.

A directive to report a second code when appropriate for providing a complete diagnosis.

Indicates both conditions can be coded simultaneously or either one.

Signifies a causal relationship between two conditions. The physician must document this for coding.

Typically indicates a specific context or condition relevant for coding.

Presumes a causal connection between two conditions unless stated otherwise.

Indicates more than one code is needed to fully describe a condition.

Directs coders to another term for locating the correct code in the index.

Points to related terms or sub-terms in the index that provide additional coding options.

Directs to the ICD-10-CM tabular list for code selection.

Guides to the main term for a condition listed in the index.

New growths or tumors resulting from unregulated cell reproduction.

Coders must report whether tumors are benign or malignant.

Malignant tumors are classified into primary, secondary, and carcinoma in situ.

Refers to the original tumor site. All tumors are deemed primary unless stated otherwise as metastatic.

Indicates that the tumor has spread to another site, either nearby or distant from the primary site.

Describes a malignant tumor localized, encapsulated, and non-invasive.

Non-invasive and non-malignant growths.

Coded as primary if the diagnostic statement specifies metastasis or recurrence, and no specific classification is documented.
