Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with E84.11 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- meconium ileus not due to cystic fibrosis (P76.0)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Chapter 4
The conditions below can never be reported together with E84.11 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 E70-E88
The conditions below can never be reported together with E84.11 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from E70-E88
The conditions below are not part of E84.11, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, E84.11 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (Q79.6-)
Code also — inherited from E84
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether E84.11 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (K86.81)
