Hello- I am part of the ICD-10 project team for our organization and after a presentation, one of the physicians on the team asked if certain alpha digits are always going to mean the same thing for example: R for replacement. As I tried to look into this further for him, I am seeing a pattern that after the period, the 4th and 5th characters are always numbers, sometimes the 6th is as well but if the code requires a 7th digit, you would use x for the placeholder and the 7th digits vary by chapter of if they are a number or a letter but tend to stay consistent. Is the pattern that I think I am seeing correct?
Thanks!
