Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with D78.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of the spleen due to accidental puncture or laceration during a procedure (D78.1-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 3
The conditions below are not part of D78.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, D78.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.

- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P00-P96)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
