The rules say that providers/suppliers must report services correctly. Procedures should be reported with the
Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code that describes the services performed. You can find this rule in
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative Policy Manual
for Medicare Services, Chapter I(A).
The rules say that certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations
due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the
underlying condition be sequenced first, if applicable, followed by the manifestation. In most cases the
manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere." Codes with this title are a
component of the etiology/ manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
"In diseases classified elsewhere" codes are never permitted to be used as first listed or principal diagnosis
codes. There are manifestation codes that do not have "in diseases classified elsewhere" in the title. For such
codes, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code and a "code first" note at the manifestation
code, and the rules for sequencing apply. You can find this rule in the 2021 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codebook.
