c. N95.9, G47.00, K30

Rationale: ICD-10-CM guideline I.B.11 states to reference the ICD-10-
CM Alphabetic Index to determine if the condition has a subentry for
impending or threatened and also reference main term entries for
Impending and Threatened. If the subterms are listed, assign the given
code. If the subterms are not listed, code the existing underlying
condition(s) and not the condition described as impending or
threatened. Look in the Alphabetic Index for Impending. There is not a
subterm for menopause; therefore, the symptoms are coded. Look for
Insomnia (organic) which directs the coder to G47.00. Next, look for
Upset/stomach which directs the coder to K30. Verify code selection in
the Tabular List.
