The example in the CPB training says: "Pt presents for follow up visit after completing treatment for malignant neoplasm. To locate teh Diagnosis code, look in iCD-10-CN alphabetic index for examination/follow up (routing)(Following)/malignant neoplasm to locate Z08." I'm scared, because I would have looked up Neoplasm, Malignant in alphabetic index looking for a DIAGNOSIS code. Encounter seems like it's a procedure code. How do I know when/how to differentiate between what the course says to do and what looks like I should do (but isn't what I should do)? I cannot at all feel confident that I won't make the same mistake bc I don't know the difference.
