Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I82.7
The conditions below can never be reported together with I82.70 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- personal history of venous embolism and thrombosis (Z86.718)
Code first — inherited from I82
The underlying condition below must be sequenced before I82.70. I82.70 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
Use additional code — inherited from I82.7
Report an additional code alongside I82.70 to fully describe the condition. I82.70 is sequenced first.
- code, if applicable, for associated long-term (current) use of anticoagulants (Z79.01)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 9
The conditions below are not part of I82.70, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I82.70 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
