Coding第 2 / 100 题
An ICD-10-CM code shown with a dash (for example, S52.5-) in a coding reference most directly signals that:
a.The code has been deleted from the current code set
b.The code may only be used for external causes
c.Additional characters are required to reach a valid, complete code
d.The code is exempt from the diagnosis present-on-admission indicator
解析
A trailing dash is a placeholder convention indicating that the code is incomplete and needs one or more additional characters. Submitting a truncated code that lacks required characters will cause the claim to be rejected. The coder must consult the Tabular List to assign all required characters, including any seventh character.
