Question

Both the Alphabetic Index and the Tabular List must be used to locate and assign a diagnosis code in ICD-10-CM. Group of answer choices True False

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "True".

Explanation:

The Alphabetic Index, as well as the Table List or Tabular List, both codes are important for finding and assigning a code. These codes are not always the complete code, in the Alphabetic List.  

• The full code, including laterality and any seven characters appropriate, may only be found on the Tabular List.  

• Both codes use topography codes which are denoted by the letter C.
