Where is the hypertension table located in ICD-10-CM?

The correct response indicates that there isn’t a specific table for hypertension within the ICD-10-CM coding system. In ICD-10-CM, hypertension is classified under certain codes that can be found within Chapter 9, which addresses diseases of the circulatory system. However, rather than having a separate table, the coding for hypertension relies on the main classification and its related guidelines found in the coding manual. Coders would need to utilize the Index to Diseases and Injuries and the Tabular List to locate appropriate codes for hypertension, taking into account the type and any associated conditions rather than looking for a designated table.

The reference to types of tables or lists (like Section 1 or Appendix A) in this context does not provide accurate information about the absence of a specific hypertension table in ICD-10-CM. Also, while Chapter 9 contains relevant codes, it does not directly answer the question posed regarding the presence of a specific table for hypertension.
