Coding第 24 / 100 题
Which of the following best describes the correct order of coding steps?
a.Assign the code from the Tabular List, then skip the Index
b.Locate the main term in the Alphabetic Index, then verify the code in the Tabular List
c.Choose the code with the highest payment, then confirm with the payer
d.Read only the Index and never consult the Tabular List
解析
Proper coding always begins in the Alphabetic Index to locate the main term and any subterms, followed by verification in the Tabular List where all conventions, notes, and character requirements are checked. Coding directly from the Index alone risks missing required characters or instructional notes. This two-step process helps ensure accurate, complete code assignment.
