Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from H81
The conditions below can never be reported together with H81.8X1 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 Chapter 8
The conditions below are not part of H81.8X1, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, H81.8X1 and the excluded code may both be reported.
