Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with S71 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of S71, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S71 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Code also
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S71 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated wound infection
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S71 to fully describe the condition. S71 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 S71, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S71 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S70-S79
The conditions below are not part of S71, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S71 and the excluded code may both be reported.
