ICD-10-CM Structure

The ICD-10-CM includes the following sections:

• Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting
• Alphabetic Index to Diseases and Injuries (Alphabetic Index)
• Table of Neoplasms
• Table of Drugs and Chemicals
• External Cause of Injuries Index
• Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries (Tabular List)

We’ll discuss how to find an ICD-10-CM code using the Alphabetic Index and Tabular List in Lesson 3.
