Question 5

One of the major changes in ICD-10 is that code extensions were added for injuries and external causes of injuries.

Accepted Answer

ICD-10 introduced additional characters or extensions for coding injuries and external causes of injuries, allowing for greater specificity and detail in coding these conditions.

Question 6

Mapping is a more limited form of conversion tool than a crosswalk.

Accepted Answer

Mapping is a method of linking data elements in one system to equivalent data elements in another system, but it is less comprehensive than a crosswalk. A crosswalk provides a more detailed and complete mapping between different code sets, standards, or vocabularies.

B)verify the term in the tabular listing.
C)read all relevant notations that appear in the alphabetic index.
D)read all relevant notations that appear in the tabular listing.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The second step in locating an ICD-10...

Question 12

Which of the following attributes were incorporated into the goals for ICD-10-PCS?
A)Completeness
B)Expandability
C)Multiaxial
D)Standardized terminology

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following attributes were incorporated...

Question 13

Every ICD-9 code corresponds directly with an ICD-10 code.

Accepted Answer

While many ICD-9 codes do have a corresponding ICD-10 code, there are some instances where ICD-10 codes may be more specific or may not have a one-to-one match with ICD-9 codes. Additionally, the structure and organization of the code sets are different, so even when a code has a direct counterpart, the corresponding code in the other set may not be immediately obvious.

Question 14

In ICD-10, a three-character code should only be used:
A)if the physician wants to be brief in documentation.
B)if it is not further subdivided.
C)for simple or minor diagnoses or conditions.
D)when a symbol appears next to it.

Accepted Answer

The answer of In ICD-10, a three-character code should only...

Question 15

In the ICD-10 alphabetic index, which symbol at the end of an entry will indicate that additional characters are required?
A)Circle
B)Dash
C)Triangle
D)Backslash

Accepted Answer

The answer of In the ICD-10 alphabetic index, which symbol...

Question 16

Most of the countries in the developed world are currently using ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes.

Accepted Answer

Most developed countries have transitioned to ICD-10 or later versions for diagnosis coding, as ICD-9-CM is outdated.

Question 17

ICD-10-PCS codes replace the codes in:
A)ICD-9 Volume 1.
B)ICD-9 Volume 2.
C)ICD-9 Volume 3.
D)CPT.

Accepted Answer

The answer of ICD-10-PCS codes replace the codes in:
A)ICD-9 Volume...

Question 18

ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS will be implemented at the same time.

Accepted Answer

ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS are both part of the ICD-10 code set and will be implemented simultaneously.

Question 19

Every covered entity and software vendor must determine the appropriate mapping from ICD-9 to ICD-10 and from ICD-10 to ICD-9.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Covered entities and software vendors must determine the appropriate mapping between the two code sets to ensure accurate and consistent coding of medical diagnoses and procedures. This is required for compliance with HIPAA regulations and to ensure proper reimbursement from insurance companies.
