Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with P05.2 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to P05.2.
- Infant, not light or small for gestational age, showing signs of fetal malnutrition, such as dry, peeling skin and loss of subcutaneous tissue
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 16
The conditions below are not part of P05.2, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, P05.2 and the excluded code may both be reported.
