Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Chapter 4

The conditions below can never be reported together with E09.31 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • transitory endocrine and metabolic disorders specific to newborn (P70-P74)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from E09

The conditions below can never be reported together with E09.31 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition (E08.-)
  • gestational diabetes (O24.4-)
  • neonatal diabetes mellitus (P70.2)
  • postpancreatectomy diabetes mellitus (E13.-)
  • postprocedural diabetes mellitus (E13.-)

  • poisoning due to drug or toxin, if applicable (T36-T65 with fifth or sixth character 1-4)

Use additional code — inherited from E09

Report an additional code alongside E09.31 to fully describe the condition. E09.31 is sequenced first.
