Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S62
The conditions below can never be reported together with S62.345 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.-)
