Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from H02
The conditions below can never be reported together with H02.22 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- congenital malformations of eyelid (Q10.0-Q10.3)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 7
