Where can E codes be found?

E codes, which are used for coding external causes of injury and poisoning, are included in both Volume 1 and Volume 2 of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Volume 1 provides general guidelines and instructions along with a comprehensive listing of codes. Volume 2 contains supplementary information, including explanations and suggested usage scenarios for the codes, facilitating the use of this coding in clinical settings.

The inclusion of E codes in both volumes ensures that users have ready access to the codes in various contexts, whether they are looking for specific coding data or understanding the applications of those codes in different clinical situations. This dual presence enhances the effectiveness of coding practices and ensures consistency in healthcare data management.
