Codes in the Tabular List appear in - ✔ ✔ alphanumeric order
Basic code structure consists of - ✔ ✔ three characters.
A decimal point is used to - ✔ ✔ separate the basic three-character
category code from its subcategory and subclassifications.
Most ICD-10-CM codes contain a - ✔ ✔ maximum of six characters,
with a few categories having a seventh-character code value.
Each chapter has the following subdivisions: - ✔ ✔ Sections (groups
of three-character categories)
Categories (three-character code numbers)
Subcategories (four-character code numbers)
Fifth-, sixth-, or seventh-character subclassifications (five-, six-, or
seven-character code numbers)
The ICD-10-CM Tabular List contains - ✔ ✔ categories,
subcategories, and codes.
The basic code used to classify a particular disease or injury consists of -
✔ ✔ three characters and is called a category (e.g., K29, Gastritis
and duodenitis).
Characters for categories, subcategories, and codes may be - ✔ ✔
either a letter or a number.
All categories have three characters. - ✔ ✔ A three-character
category that has no further subdivision is equivalent to a code.
, Subcategories have either - ✔ ✔ four or five characters.
Codes may be three, four, five, six, or seven characters. - ✔ ✔ That
is, each level of subdivision after a category is a subcategory. The final
level of subdivision is a code.
Codes that have applicable seventh characters are - ✔ ✔ still
referred to as codes, not subcategories.
A code that has an applicable seventh character is - ✔ ✔ considered
invalid without the seventh character
ICD-10-CM uses the letter "x" as a placeholder character in certain
codes to allow for future expansion - ✔ ✔ Example: Poisoning,
adverse effect and underdosing codes (T36-T50) and the toxic effects
(T51-T65) codes.
Where a placeholder exists, the "x" must be used in order for the code
to be considered a valid code.
Certain categories have an additional seventh-character value. The
applicable seventh-character value is required for - ✔ ✔ all codes
within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The
seventh-character value must always be the seventh character in the
code
If a code is not a full six characters - ✔ ✔ a placeholder character
"x" must be used to fill in the empty characters when a seventh
character value is required.
The Alphabetic Index consists of: - ✔ ✔ Index of Diseases and
Injuries,
