Only at the end of the code list

When should you refer to the Tabular list?

After ignoring the Index instructions

Before reading inclusion and exclusion notes

Only if there are no cross-references in the Index

To verify the suitability of the code found in the Index (correct)

What should you do if there is a reference to an Australian Coding Standard?
