Answer to Question 1

Answer: The three volumes of the ICD-9-CM are Volume 1: Tabular/Numerical List of Diseases; Volume 2: Alphabetic Index of Diseases; and Volume 3: Tabular and Alphabetic Index of Procedures.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The coder should use the alphabetic index (Volume 2) first to find the main term and code. After a code is found, the tabular list (Volume 1) should be used to confirm and find the most specific code.
