Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S82
The conditions below can never be reported together with S82.52XD 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 lower leg (S88.-)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S82.5
The conditions below can never be reported together with S82.52XD on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S82.52XD to fully describe the condition. S82.52XD 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 S82.52XD, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S82.52XD and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S80-S89
The conditions below are not part of S82.52XD, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S82.52XD and the excluded code may both be reported.
