Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with I87.2 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Use additional code
Report an additional code alongside I87.2 to fully describe the condition. I87.2 is sequenced first.
- code, if applicable, to specify site and severity of ulcer (L97.-)
Code also
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether I87.2 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to I87.2.
