Mike is looking for the ICD-10-CM code for morbid obesity. From the Alphabetic Index, Mike looked up the code E66 in the Tabular List. The main term, Overweight and Obesity, has a symbol that indicates a 4th character is needed. What is Mike's next step to assign the most accurate code? Can Mike just use E66? Why or why not?
No. Just mentioning E66 will not specify the condition of obesity. For coding ICD-10 CM, first, the terms have to search in Alphanumeric index. the code E66 indicates obesity and overweight. Then MIke has to search for the fourth character which specifies the condition related to obesity. It has a list of condition. Under this, he has to choose obesity due to morbid. So the exact ICD-10-CM code for morbid obesity is E66.01
