The Tabular List refers to the actual listing of ICD-10 codes and their descriptors. You’ll also find instructions that will help you apply the codes correctly, as well as lists of additional diagnoses that a code applies to, sequencing rules, or which diagnoses codes are excluded from an ICD-10 code.
