Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with I70.3 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • embolism or thrombus of bypass graft(s) of extremities (T82.8-)

Use additional code

Report an additional code alongside I70.3 to fully describe the condition. I70.3 is sequenced first.

  • code, if applicable, to identify chronic total occlusion of artery of extremity (I70.92)

Use additional code — inherited from I70

Report an additional code alongside I70.3 to fully describe the condition. I70.3 is sequenced first.
