Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S32
The conditions below can never be reported together with S32.409 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 abdomen (S38.3)
Code first — inherited from S32
The underlying condition below must be sequenced before S32.409. S32.409 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
- any associated spinal cord and spinal nerve injury (S34.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S32.409 to fully describe the condition. S32.409 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S32.409, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.409 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S30-S39
The conditions below are not part of S32.409, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.409 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S32
The conditions below are not part of S32.409, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.409 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- fracture of hip NOS (S72.0-)
Code also — inherited from S32.4
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S32.409 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated fracture of pelvic ring (S32.8-)
