Clinical notes

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.

  • exposure to uncontrolled fire in building or structure (X00.-)
  • exposure to uncontrolled fire, not in building or structure (X01.-)
  • exposure to controlled fire in building or structure (X02.-)
  • exposure to controlled fire, not in building or structure (X03.-)
  • exposure to ignition of highly flammable materials (X04.-)
