Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S62
The conditions below can never be reported together with S62.511 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
Report an additional code alongside S62.511 to fully describe the condition. S62.511 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S62.511, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.511 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S60-S69
The conditions below are not part of S62.511, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.511 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has S62.511 existed?
S62.511 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
