Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with I27.2 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

Code also
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether I27.2 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- associated underlying condition
