Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M19
The conditions below can never be reported together with M19.2 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- polyarthritis (M15.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13

- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
