Rationale: ICD-10-CM guideline I.B.11 states to reference the ICD-
10-CM Alphabetic Index to determine if the condition has a
subentry for impending or threatened and also reference main term
entries for Impending and Threatened. If the subterms are listed,
assign the given code. If the subterms are not listed, code the
existing underlying condition(s) and not the condition described as
impending or threatened. Look in the Alphabetic Index for
Impending. There is not a subterm for menopause; therefore, the
symptoms are coded. Look for Insomnia (organic) which directs the
,coder to G47.00. Next, look for Upset/stomach which directs the
coder to K30. Verify code selection in the Tabular List.
