WITH used to direct the coder to the correct codes and the sequence of codes for conditions that may be preset with each other. WITH may be used by the physician to acknowledge two conditions exist but the physician may also use other phrases such as associated with or due to and the ICD-10-CM phrase of WITH also applies in the alphabetic index or in the tabular list in an instructional note. Alphabetic index is the term WITH will appear immediately following the main term. Tabular list is the term WITH appearing in a code title means that two conditions must be present in the patient to use that particular code.
