Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S33

The conditions below can never be reported together with S33.13 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • obstetric damage to pelvic joints and ligaments (O71.6)

Code also — inherited from S33.1

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S33.13 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
