Answer:

Mike should simply approach the ICD-10-CM in the same manner as the ICD-9-CM.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mike should begin the process of coding with analyzing and abstracting the medical report of the gastroenterology group. From their doctor's report notes, Mike can either go straight to the tabular section or go to the alphabetic section in order to find the accurate code, and then finally get a confirmation from the tabular section.
