Section I

1. It’s important for Mike to read the ICD-10-CM manual because it helps him choose the
right codes. The manual gives details, notes, and instructions that make sure the code
matches the patient’s diagnosis. By reading it, Mike can avoid mistakes and make sure
billing and records are correct and legitimate.

2. The manual shows how to look up and confirm codes. It has guidelines, symbols, and
instructions on how to pick the best and most specific code. It also explains steps, like
checking the Alphabetic Index first and then confirming in the Tabular List.

3. If Mike understands the manual, he can be more accurate in coding. This helps the
doctors and nurses by making sure the patient’s record is complete. It also helps the
billing process run smoothly, which makes him a more valuable worker.
