|---|---|
| What is an alphabetic list of terms and their corresponding code? | The Alphabetic Index |
| A structured list of codes divided into chapters based on body system or condition? | Tabular List |
| Consists of the following parts: the Index of Diseases and Injury, the index of External Causes of Injury, the Table of Neoplasms and the Table of Drugs and Chemicals | Alphabetic Index |
| Contains categories, subcategories, and codes. Characters for categories, subcategories and codes may be either a letter or a number. | Tabular List |
| ------------- are either 4 or 5 characters. | Subcategories |
| A code that have applicable 7th character is invalid without the ________? | 7th Character |
| Codes may be ----- characters? | 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 |
| That is, each level of subdivision after a category is a -----------? | subcategory |
| The ICD-10-CM utilizes a placeholder character __. | "X" |
| The __ is used as a placeholder at certain codes to allow for future expansion. An example of this is at the poisoning, adverse effect and underdosing codes categories T36-T50. | "X" |
| The 7th Character must always be the 7th character in the -------? | data field |
| If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a ----------- must be used to fill in the empty characters. | placeholder "X" |
| The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the ----------- instruct. | Tabular List |
| This abbreviation in the Alphabetic Index represents "other specified." When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Alphabetic Index directs the coder to the -------------- code in the Tabular List. | "Not elsewhere classifiable" (NEC) |
| NOS, this abbreviation is the equivalent of unspecified. | "Not Otherwise Specified |
| This abbreviation in the Tabular List represents "other specified." When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Tabular List includes an --- entry under a code to identify the code as the other specified" code. | NEC |
| Used in the Tabular List to enclose synonyms, alternative wording or explanatory phrases. -------- are used in the Alphabetic Index to identify manifestation codes. | Brackets |
| ----------are used in Alphabetic Index and Tabular List to enclose the statement of a disease or procedure without affecting the code number to which it is assigned. | Parentheses |
| The terms within the parentheses are referred to as --------------? | nonessential modifiers |
| The ----------- modifiers in the Alphabetic Index to diseases apply to subterms following a main term except when a nonessential modifier and a subentry are mutually exclusive, the subentry takes precedence. | nonessential modifiers |
| List of terms is included under some codes. These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. | Inclusion terms |
| These terms may be synonyms of the code title, or in the case of "other specified code, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. | Inclusion terms |
| These are additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code. | Inclusion terms |
| This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category. | Includes Notes |
| The ICD-10-CM has two types of excludes notes. Each type of note has a different definition for use but they are all similar in that they indicate that codes excluded from each other are independent of each other. | Excludes Notes |
| This Excludes Note means "Not coded here!"It indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the -------. | Excludes 1 |
| An -------is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition. | Excludes 1 |
| A type -------- note represents "Not included here." An ------ note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but the patient might have both conditions at the same time. | Excludes 2 |
| When an --------note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate. | Excluded 2 |
