ICD-10-CM Quiz 1 Latest Update Graded A+ Format & Structure The ICD-10-CM Tabular List contains categories, subcategories and codes. Use of codes for reporting purposes For reporting purposes only codes are permissible, not categories or subcategories, and any applicable 7th character is required. Placeholder character The ICD-10-CM utilizes a placeholder character "X". The "X" s used as a placeholder at certain codes to allow for future expansion. 7th Character Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. NEC "Not elsewhere classifiable" This abbreviation represents "other specified". When a specific code is not available for a condition. NOS "Not otherwise specified" This abbreviation is the equivalent of unspecified. [ ] Brackets are used in the Tabular List to enclose synonyms, alternative wording or explanatory phrases. Brackets are used in the Alphabetic Index to identify manifestation codes. ( ) Parentheses are used in both the Alphabetic Index and Tabular List to enclose supplementary words that may be present or asent in the statement of a disease or procedure without affecting the code number to which it assigned. The terms within the parentheses are referred to as nonessential modifiers. : Colons are used in the Tabular List after an incomplete term which needs one or more of the modifiers following the colon to make it assignable to a given category. "and" When the term "and" is used in a narrative statement it represents and/or. "Other" codes Codes titled "other" or "other specified" are for use when the information in the medical record provides detail for which a specific code does not exist. "Unspecified" codes Codes titled "unspecified" are for use when the information in the medical record is insufficient to assign a more specific code. Includes Notes This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define or give examples of, the content of the category. Inclusion Terms List of terms is included under some codes. These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. Excludes 1 A type 1 Exclude note is a pure exclude note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Exclude 1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Exclude 1 note. Excludes 2 A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes 2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented y the code but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. It is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate. "With" The word "with" should be interpreted to mean "associated with" or "due to" when it appears in a code title, the Alphabetic Index, or and instructional not in the Tabular List. "See" The "see" instruction following a main term in the Alphabetic Index indicates that another term should be referenced. It is necessary to go to the main term referenced with the "see" note to locate the correct code. "See Also" A "see also" instruction following a main term in the Alphabetic Index instructs that there is another main term that may also be referenced that may provide additional Alphabetic Index entries that may be useful.
