•This is a non-billable header code. Documentation must support a more specific child code before this diagnosis can be reported on a claim.
•This code describes an unspecified presentation. If the medical record documents a more specific detail (e.g. laterality, type, or affected site), a more specific sibling code should be used instead — see Related codes below.
