**False.**
According to the ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, it is **necessary** to start with the Alphabetic Index before proceeding to the Tabular List (Tables) to complete a code. The Alphabetic Index provides direction to the correct code, but the Tabular List must always be referenced to ensure the proper code is selected with all necessary characters and specificity.
You should **not** choose a code directly from the Tables (Tabular List) without first consulting the Alphabetic Index.
