#CLOSED FRACTURE OF RIGHT FEMUR ICD 10 MANUAL#
For a breakdown of the ICD-10-CM coding manual download our ebook. ICD-10-CM is divided into ranges based on the type of injury or disease they document. (We won’t be covering ICD-10-CM Volume III codes in these courses). Volume III lists procedure codes that are only used by hospitals. Volume II is, again, the alphabetic index. The ICD-10-CM code manual is divided into three volumes. A01.021 … affecting the cardiopulmonary system.Here’s a simplified look at ICD-10-CM’s format. To review: the first digit of an ICD-10-CM code is always an alpha, the second digit is always numeric, and digits three through seven may be alpha or numeric. That is, if this is the first time a healthcare provider has seen the patient for this condition/injury/disease, it’s listed as the “initial encounter.” Every encounter after the first is listed as a “subsequent encounter.” Patient visits related to the effects of a previous injury or disease are listed with the term “sequela.”
The extension describes the type of encounter this is. This is followed by up to two subclassifications, which further explain the cause, manifestation, location, severity, and type of injury or disease. The category is followed by a decimal point and the subcategory. The first three characters of ICD-10-CM are the “category.” The category describes the general type of the injury or disease. Each code begins with a letter, and that letter is followed by two numbers. ICD-10-CM is a seven-character, alphanumeric code.
