Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with Q89.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

isomerism of atrial appendages (with asplenia or polysplenia) (Q20.6)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 17

The conditions below are not part of Q89.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Q89.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.

inborn errors of metabolism (E70-E88)
