ICD-10 Clinic - Book 2: Inside the Code Book

The code book talks to you. Brackets, colons, small italic notes and short words in capitals are not decoration: every one of them is an instruction, and ignoring them is the single biggest cause of wrong codes. This book takes the conventions apart one at a time, with real examples from the current code set. NEC and NOS. Parentheses, brackets and colons, including the one beginners always get backwards. Includes, Excludes1 and Excludes2, with the official exception most textbooks leave out. Code first, use additional code, and code also. See, see also and see condition. And the two small words, "and" and "with", that quietly change what you are allowed to assume. 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.
