Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M80
The conditions below can never be reported together with M80.079 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 — inherited from M80
Report an additional code alongside M80.079 to fully describe the condition. M80.079 is sequenced first.
- code to identify major osseous defect, if applicable (M89.7-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13
