Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M41

The conditions below can never be reported together with M41.115 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • congenital scoliosis NOS (Q67.5)
  • congenital scoliosis due to bony malformation (Q76.3)
  • postural congenital scoliosis (Q67.5)
  • kyphoscoliotic heart disease (I27.1)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13

The conditions below are not part of M41.115, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M41.115 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • arthropathic psoriasis (L40.5-)
  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
  • compartment syndrome (traumatic) (T79.A-)
