ICD-10 Clinic Intermediate - Book 1: Selection and Sequencing

This is the first book of the Intermediate series. You already know how to find a code. Now you learn which code goes first and why. You will meet the principal diagnosis, the first-listed diagnosis, the rules for symptoms and suspected conditions, the instruction notes that force a code order, and the principal procedure.

The ten chapters:

1. Order changes everything

2. The principal diagnosis

3. The first-listed diagnosis

4. Signs, symptoms and R codes

5. Probable, suspected, rule out

6. Other diagnoses that count

7. Code first, Use additional code

8. Combination codes

9. A pair that points both ways

10. The principal procedure

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.
