ICD-10 Clinic Intermediate - Book 15: Poisoning and Care Complications

The last book of the Intermediate series. The first half returns to Book 3's three drug events and runs them at working speed on records that do not make it easy. The second half covers complications of medical and surgical care: what makes a complication code correct, where the codes live, and the line between an expected outcome and a complication, which is the most carefully audited judgement in the whole code book.

The ten chapters:

1. The one question

2. Adverse effect

3. Poisoning

4. Underdosing

5. Harder table rows

6. The test

7. Where they live

8. Postprocedural conditions

9. Devices, implants and grafts

10. Y83 and Y84

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.

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.
