ICD-10-CM 2013: The Complete Official Draft Code Set

Prepare for the future of diagnostic coding with the latest and most comprehensive version of the official government draft of the ICD-10-CM code set. This codebook presents the complete code set-a total of 21 chapters-within a tabular list of diseases and injuries. ICD-10-CM conventions and official guidelines educate you on appropriate and consistent coding. Color coding alerts you to fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh character requirements as well as to instructional notes and deactivated codes. Indexes to diseases and injuries and to external causes make navigation of the code set quicker. A table of drugs and chemicals provides an easy-to-read list of substances and the codes they relate to when it comes to poisoning, adverse effects, and underdosing. A neoplasm table aids in the accurate coding of neoplasms by anatomical site and nature or the neoplasm.
