Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with S63.6 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 rupture of ligament of finger at metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joint(s) (S63.4-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S63.6 to fully describe the condition. S63.6 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 S63.6, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S63.6 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S60-S69
The conditions below are not part of S63.6, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S63.6 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S63
The conditions below are not part of S63.6, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S63.6 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of wrist and hand (S66.-)
Code also — inherited from S63
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S63.6 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated open wound
