How is M35.0 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to M35.0. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

  • Keratoconjunctivitis › sicca

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with M35.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • dry mouth, unspecified (R68.2)

Use additional code

Report an additional code alongside M35.0 to fully describe the condition. M35.0 is sequenced first.

  • code to identify associated manifestations

Inclusion terms

Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to M35.0.

  • Sicca syndrome

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M30-M36

The conditions below can never be reported together with M35.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • autoimmune disease, single organ or single cell-type -code to relevant condition category

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M35

The conditions below can never be reported together with M35.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • reactive perforating collagenosis (L87.1)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13

The conditions below are not part of M35.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M35.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
