Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S22

The conditions below can never be reported together with S22.08 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • transection of thorax (S28.1)

Code first — inherited from S22

The underlying condition below must be sequenced before S22.08. S22.08 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19

Report an additional code alongside S22.08 to fully describe the condition. S22.08 is sequenced first.

  • code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19

  • obstetric trauma (O70-O71)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S20-S29

The conditions below are not part of S22.08, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S22.08 and the excluded code may both be reported.

Code also — inherited from S22

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S22.08 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.

  • , if applicable, any associated condition such as:
  • injury of intrathoracic organ (S27.-)
  • traumatic hemopneumothorax (S27.2)
