Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S61

The conditions below can never be reported together with S61.32 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 wrist and hand (S68.-)

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
