if the main term or subterm is too long to fit on one line, as is often the case when many nonessential modifiers appear, what kind of lines are used?

carryover
turnover
cross-reference
cross-over

Explanation:

Identify the medical coding convention

Using the Alphabetic Index knowledge point
In ICD-10-CM coding, the Alphabetic Index lists main terms and subterms. When a main term or subterm is too long to fit on a single line, the remaining text wraps to the next line. These wrapped lines are indented farther to the right than the preceding line to avoid confusion with subterms.

Determine the correct terminology

In medical coding manuals and guidelines, these wrapped lines are specifically referred to as carryover lines or turnover lines. Both terms are used interchangeably to describe these indented, wrapped lines.

Answer:

• Carryover (Correct answer)
• Turnover (Correct answer)
• Cross-reference
• Cross-over
