Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with R87.62 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- abnormal cytological findings in specimens from cervix uteri (R87.61-)
- abnormal cytological findings in specimens from other female genital organs (R87.69)
- carcinoma in situ of vagina (histologically confirmed) (D07.2)
- vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia I [VAIN I] (N89.0)
- vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia II [VAIN II] (N89.1)
- vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia III [VAIN III] (D07.2)
- dysplasia (mild) (moderate) of vagina (histologically confirmed) (N89.-)
- severe dysplasia of vagina (histologically confirmed) (D07.2)
