Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S06
The conditions below can never be reported together with S06.339 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- head injury NOS (S09.90)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S06.339 to fully describe the condition. S06.339 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Use additional code — inherited from S06
Report an additional code alongside S06.339 to fully describe the condition. S06.339 is sequenced first.
- code, if applicable, to identify mild neurocognitive disorders due to known physiological condition (F06.7-)
Use additional code — inherited from S06.3
Report an additional code alongside S06.339 to fully describe the condition. S06.339 is sequenced first.
- code, if applicable, for traumatic brain compression or herniation (S06.A-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S06.339, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S06.339 and the excluded code may both be reported.

Code also — inherited from S00-S09
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S06.339 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- for any associated infection
