Clinical notes

Excludes1 (not coded here)

An Excludes1 note is a pure exclusion: the excluded condition and this code should never be reported together, because the two conditions cannot occur at the same time (e.g. a congenital form vs. an acquired form of the same disease).

  • encounter for examination for administrative purposes (Z02.-)
  • encounter for examination for suspected conditions, proven not to exist (Z03.-)
  • encounter for laboratory, radiologic and imaging examinations for sign(s) and symptom(s) - code to the sign(s) or symptom(s)

Excludes2 (not included here)

An Excludes2 note means the excluded condition is not part of this one, but a patient can have both at the same time — in that case both codes may be reported together.

  • encounter for laboratory and radiologic examinations as a component of general medical examinations (Z00.0-)
  • screening examinations (Z11-Z13)

Includes
