The answer is "True".

Explanation:

The Alphabetic Index, as well as the Table List or Tabular List, both codes are important for finding and assigning a code. These codes are not always the complete code, in the Alphabetic List.

The full code, including laterality and any seven characters appropriate, may only be found on the Tabular List. Both codes use topography codes which are denoted by the letter C.
