How is D70.3 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to D70.3. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from D70
The conditions below can never be reported together with D70.3 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Use additional code — inherited from D70
Report an additional code alongside D70.3 to fully describe the condition. D70.3 is sequenced first.
- code for any associated:
- fever (R50.81)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 3
The conditions below are not part of D70.3, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, D70.3 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- autoimmune disease (systemic) NOS (M35.9)
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P00-P96)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
- human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease (B20)
- injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
- neoplasms (C00-D49)
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
Code also — inherited from D70
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether D70.3 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
How long has D70.3 existed?
D70.3 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
