chapter 4: Steps in Diagnostic Coding Selection Test with all correct Answers To select a code in the classification that corresponds to a diagnosis or reason for visit documented in the medical record, first locate the term in the Tabular List.

The instructional notes in the Alphabetic Index take precedence over the instructional notes in the Tabular List. Medical documentation should be detailed to support the granularity of the codes present in ICD-10-CM. The coder must follow the See note in the Alphabetic Index to review additional entries in the Index.
