The Index proposes. The Tabular List decides.

Coding is not lookup. It is a disciplined path from the words a clinician wrote to the one code that is defensible. Here is that path on a single admission, played out as you scroll.

Discharge summary, excerpt

Presenting problem: Admitted with acute cholecystitis.

The lead term. The condition, not the body part. This is where the Alphabetic Index search starts.

Imaging: Ultrasound abdomen. No calculus noted.

The detail that decides the code. If a stone were present, the Tabular List’s Excludes note would send this admission to K80.- instead.

Progress: Managed conservatively. Recovered well.
