The inclusion of items throughout the Tabular List also helps to ensure accurate coding, providing additional information on common diseases and conditions. Unique elements within specific codes define terms and add coding instructions relating to difficult terminology, diseases and conditions, or coding in a specific category.

Symbols and highlights throughout the manual draw attention to codes that may require special consideration before coding, including new, revised, and deleted codes, as well as codes that call for the use of additional character(s), includes, excludes 1 and excludes 2, use additional, code first, and code also. A placeholder X symbol reminds coders to assign placeholder X for codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character, and CC (Complications & Comorbidities) and MCC (Major CC) symbols identify codes associated with the presence of secondary diagnoses from MS-DRGs, and call attention to CC and MCC exceptions.

The hospital acquired condition symbol identifies conditions that will always be coded as hospital acquired, while the manifestation code symbol identifies conditions for which it is important to record both the etiology and the symptom of the disease. An HCC symbol indicates diagnoses in the Tabular List associated with Hierarchical Condition Categories, while age and sex edits from the Definition of Medicare Code Edits help to ensure accuracy by denoting codes that are used only with patients of a specific age or sex.
