Cc countersignature note

conventions in the tabular list icd-10-cm the conventions that we will go over today are the includes notes excludes notes and with code also and sequencing instructions where are conventions located coding conventions are found in the guidelines at the beginning of the icd-10-cm code books some Publishers include chapter specific guidelines at the beginning of each chapter The Official Guidelines for coding and Reporting can also be found on the CMS website at www.cms.gov and you can also do a Google search for the official coding guidelines includes notes includes notes appear directly underneath a three character category to further Define and give examples of the content that is included in the category so for example the includes notes lists a number of conditions that are included in the category of k72 this means that the conditions listed in the includes notes may be coded with code starting with k72 inclusion terms inclusion terms are also common throughout the tabular list these work similar to includes notes but instead pertain to specific codes rather than a category of codes inclusion terms may be synonyms for the condition or a list of various conditions assigned to a specific code so for example we have K 75.0 abscess of liver and you can see all of the inclusion terms this is not an exhaustive list but you can see all of these terms that indicate that these conditions still fit within the code description so it is still acceptable to assign this code excludes notes excludes notes are the opposite of includes notes they are identifying conditions that are similar but independent of each other the icd-10-cm code set has two types of excludes notes there's excludes one and excludes two the excludes one note is a pure excludes note and what I mean by this is that the condition listed under the excludes one note and the coded condition are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together so for example if a patient has a congenital form they can't have an acquired form of a condition those two could never be coded together so looking at this example you can see that I have highlighted the excludes one and cholangitis without liver abscess k83.09 is listed as something that a patient could never have along with an abscess of the liver so in this case the coder would have to select either k75.0 or k83.09 but they cannot have both excludes two and excludes two note identifies conditions that are not included here this means that if the patient had the condition located under the excludes two note then they should code for that condition elsewhere if the patient has both the condition within the excludes two note as well as the coded condition then both of the codes may be reported together as appropriate so in this example I have highlighted the excludes two note and you can see that acute or sub-acute hepatitis not otherwise specified b17.9...
