The first volume of the ICD-10-CM is the tabular index, which contains the codes that are organized into seventeen chapters according to etiology, site, manifestation or condition of disease, primarily structured by body system and are listed in numerical order.
Moreover, the second volume is the alphabetic index and the third volume is the list of procedure codes that is only used by hospitals.
