ICD-10 Clinic Intermediate - Book 13: Neoplasm Cases

Chapter 2 of the code book is unusual in having its own lookup tool: a six-column table that answers the question the Index cannot. This book teaches how to read that table, how to tell a primary site from a secondary one, when a history code replaces a disease code, and the sequencing rule that decides whether the cancer or the treatment leads. It also covers the complications of treatment, which is where most neoplasm records get their extra codes.

The ten chapters:

1. Six columns

2. Primary and secondary

3. When the primary is unknown

4. In situ, benign and uncertain

5. Overlapping sites and lymph nodes

6. The encounter rule

7. Admitted for a complication

8. Chemotherapy complications

9. History codes

10. Travelling companions

Twenty-five A4 pages in full colour, with a two-page Coding Lab that works a full record step by step, a page of the eight pitfalls that cost the most marks, fifteen practice questions with a worked answer for every one, and a glossary.

Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.
