Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S42
The conditions below can never be reported together with S42.361S on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- traumatic amputation of shoulder and upper arm (S48.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S42.361S to fully describe the condition. S42.361S is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
