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).

  • malfunction or other complications of device - see Alphabetical Index

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 fitting and management of implanted devices (Z45.-)
  • issue of repeat prescription only (Z76.0)
  • presence of prosthetic and other devices (Z95-Z97)

Includes

Terms listed here further define or give examples of the conditions grouped under this code — they describe what the code covers, not a separate diagnosis.

  • removal or replacement of other device

Documentation support
