ICD 10 Top Exam Questions and
answers, 100% Accurate, rated A+
international classification of diseases - ✔✔-ICD stands for:
ICD - ✔✔-lists diseases and codes according to a system copyrighted by the World Health Organization
of the United Nations. is used to code and classify morbidity data from patient medical records,
physician offices, and surveys conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics.
three and seven - ✔✔-an ICD-10-CM diagnosis code has between _____ and _____ alphanumeric
characters. the system is built on categories for diseases, injuries, and symptoms.
GEMs - ✔✔-an acronym that stands for general equivalence mappings.
regularly and must be followed as of the date they go into effect. - ✔✔-addenda to codes are released:
the tabular list and the alphabetic index - ✔✔-ICD-10-CM has to major parts that are used in medical
practices:
the neoplasm table, the table of drugs and chemicals, and the index to external causes. - ✔✔-the
alphabetic index has three additional sections:
the alphabetic index - ✔✔-contains all the medical terms in the tabular list classifications, for some
conditions it also lists common terms that are not found in the tabular list, is organized by condition..
not by the anatomical site.
medical term/ the main term first ( what is bolded) - ✔✔-the assignment of the correct code begins with
looking up the ____________ term that describes the patients condition based on the diagnostic
statement.
, main term - ✔✔-a word that identifies a disease or condition in the alphabetic index. each term appears
in boldface type and is followed by its default code.
sub term - ✔✔-a word or phrase that describes a main term in the alphabetic index. it may show
etiology of the disease, describe a particular type or body site for the main term.
nonessential modifiers - ✔✔-are for main terms or subterms shown in parentheses on the same line,
they are supplementary terms that are essential to the selection of the correct code. they help point to
the correct term.
common terms - ✔✔-example: when there is a entry for flu, with a cross reference to influenza.
eponyms - ✔✔-condition or procedure named for a person such as the physician who discovered or
invented it; some are named for patients. usually listed both under that name and under the main term
disease or syndrome. EXAMPLE hodgkins disease appears as a subterm under disease and as a key term.
alphabetic index - ✔✔-a guide for coding other syndromes.
turnover lines - ✔✔-are used when many nonessential modifiers appear, they are always indented
farther to the right than are sub terms, it is important to read carefully to distinguish from a sub term
line.
cross reference - ✔✔-an example of this is if "see" appears after a main term, the coder must look up
the term that follows the word "see" in the index. the "see" reference means that the main term where
the coder first looked is not correct; another category must be used.
see also - ✔✔-another type of cross reference, points the coder to additional, related index entries. with
the word category added to it, it indicates that the coder should review the additional categories that
are mentioned.
not elsewhere classifiable - ✔✔-what does NEC mean?
