Good Morning Coders!
What are you coding today?

  • Tabular List: A chronological list of ICD-10-CM codes divided into chapters based on body system or condition. It is essential to use both the Alphabetic Index and Tabular List when locating and assigning a code. The Alphabetic Index does not always provide the full code. Selection of the full code, including laterality and any applicable seventh character, can only be done in the Tabular List. A dash (-) at the end of an alphabetic index entry indicates that additional characters are required. Even if a dash is not included at the Alphabetic Index entry, it is necessary to refer to the Tabular List to verify that no seventh character is required.4
