What information do the "includes notes" in ICD-9-CM provide?

  1. Further code descriptions

  2. Additional coding requirements

  3. Expanded code options

  4. Further examples or category definitions

The correct answer is: Further examples or category definitions

The inclusion of notes in ICD-9-CM provides further examples or category definitions that help healthcare professionals accurately assign the appropriate code to a patient's condition. This can be especially helpful for complex conditions or those that may require additional coding requirements. While options A, B, and C are all related to the use of these notes, they do not accurately reflect the specific purpose of these notes. Therefore, they are incorrect options.
