In ICD-10-CM there is not a hypertension table like you were used to using in ICD-9-CM. You would use the index and the tabular to look for the proper code. Another thing to note that is different with ICD-10-CM there is no distingtion between essential, benign, and malignant hypertnestion like there is in ICD-9-CM.
