Excludes2 — not included here

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Chapter 4
The conditions below can never be reported together with E63 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)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from E50-E64
The conditions below are not part of E63, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, E63 and the excluded code may both be reported.
