What types of terms are classified as main terms in ICD-9-CM?

  1. Anatomic terms

  2. Specific treatments

  3. Terms related to symptoms

  4. Fracture, pneumonia, disease

The correct answer is: Fracture, pneumonia, disease

Main terms in ICD-9-CM are typically the disease or condition entities that are being coded for. In this case, "fracture," "pneumonia," and "disease" are examples of main terms because they represent specific health conditions or diagnoses that require coding. Anatomic terms, specific treatments, and terms related to symptoms are not considered main terms in the context of medical coding because the primary focus is on identifying and coding for the patient's specific condition or disease.
