ICD-10 Clinic - Book 5: Nerves, Lungs and Digestion

Five chapters of the body, and three questions that come back on every page: which side, how bad, and what comes first. The pain codes and the guideline that decides whether you use one at all. Alzheimer's disease and the dementia code that must always follow it. The eye and ear chapters, where laterality is on almost every code, and glaucoma, where a 7th character records the stage of the disease. Then asthma severity, COPD and the difference between an exacerbation and an infection, pneumonia, the respiratory failure sequencing guideline, and the digestive chapter's three recurring questions: is it bleeding, is it blocked, has it burst. Fifteen exercises with worked answers.

Twenty-five A4 pages, in full colour. Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.

Every ICD-10-CM code in this book was verified against the official 2026 code set before the file was made. Instant PDF download. By M.R. Sterling.
