Where is the main term usually located in the ICD-9-CM system?

  1. Volume One

  2. Volume Two

The correct answer is: Volume Two

This volume contains the alphabetic index and the main terms for diagnoses, making it easier for coders to locate the specific code they need based on the diagnosis or condition provided. Volumes One and Three contain the tabular list of diagnosis codes and procedure codes, respectively, while Volume Four is used for the classification of diseases for mortality and morbidity statistics.
