| coding conventions NOS (not otherwise specified) | equivalent of "unspecified"; identifies codes that are to be assigned when information needed to assign a more specific code cannot be obtained from the provider. |
| and | interpreted as meaning "and/or" |
| boxed note | defines terms, provides coding instruction, and lists fifth-digit subclassifications for categories that use the same fifth digits |
| code also | ICD-10-CM note that provides instruction that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition; this not does not provide sequencing direction. |
| cross-references | instruction to refer to another entry in the index or tabular list to assign the correct code |
| cross-references see | instructional term that is located after a main term or subterm in the indexes |
| cross-references see also | instructional term that is located after a main term or subterm, in the index and directs the coder to another main term that may provide additional useful index entries. |
| cross-references see category | instructional term that directs the coder to the lobular list, where a code can be selected from the options provided there. |
| cross-references see condition | instructional term that directs the coder to the main term in the index for a condition |

| excludes 2 note | appears below code in the ICD-10-CM tabular list to direct the coder to another location in the tabular list to classify conditions that are excluded from the code; |
| format | for ease of reference, index subterms are indented two spaces below a main term; second, third, and fourth qualifiers are indented two, four, and six spaces, respectively, bellows the subterm. |
| in | index subterm that indicates the presence of a cause-and-effect relationship between two conditions |
| includes note | appears immediately below tabular list codes to further define terms or provide examples |
| inclusion term | listed below certain codes in the tabular lists; includes conditions or procedure for which that code number is to be assigned |
| manifestation | condition that occurs as the result of another condition; a manifestation code is always reported as a secondary code |
