The correct reporting for COPD with chronic bronchitis and emphysema:

The correct reporting for acute cholecystitis with cholelithiasis with obstruction:

Acute and chronic respiratory failure. ICD-10-CM Code:____________________

Assign codes as directed in the Index, only after verifying the code in the Tabular.

The correct reporting for chronic tonsillitis and hypertrophy of the tonsils:

Systemic lupus erythematosus with associated endocarditis (M32.11) is an example of dual coding.

It is important to follow any cross-reference instructions in the Index of the I-10, such as see also.

Multiple codes are often required for late effects, complication codes, and obstetric codes.

If there are separate codes for both the acute and chronic forms of a condition, the code for the chronic condition is sequenced first as long as both codes are listed at the same indentation level of the Index.

Each unique I-10 diagnosis code may be reported more than once for an encounter.
