Clinical notes

Code also

Two codes may be needed to fully describe a condition, but unlike Code First/Use Additional Code, the sequencing order is not mandated by convention.

  • , if applicable, associated condition

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).

  • abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.1)
  • in newborn (P60)
  • pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O45.0, O46.0, O67.0, O72.3)
