Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with S61.2 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- open wound of finger involving nail (matrix) (S61.3-)
Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of S61.2, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S61.2 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- open wound of thumb without damage to nail (S61.0-)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S61
