List and explain Volumes I, II, and III of the ICD-9-CM. Include examples of usage

What will be an ideal response?

Answer:
• Volume I – A tabular listing of diseases.
• Volume II – An alphabetical listing of diseases by English language description.
• Volume III – A numerical and alphabetical listing of surgical or nonsurgical procedures that may be performed by a physician in a hospital or inpatient setting.
The order and degree of use varies for each volume.

The ICD-9-CM is used when:
• An ICD-9-CM code is provided, but there is no language description of the diagnosis.
• A language diagnosis is included, but an ICD-9-CM is not indicated and the terms used by the provider cannot be found in Volume II. If you can identify the body system, you may be able to locate an appropriate ICD-9-CM code. V codes and E codes are supplementary classifications found in Volume I. V codes deal with classification of factors influencing health status and contact with health services. E codes are used for classification of external causes of injury and poisoning.
