- 013Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy without CC/MCCsurgical
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from C08
The conditions below can never be reported together with C08.1 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- malignant neoplasms of specified minor salivary glands which are classified according to their anatomical location
