Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from T51-T65
The conditions below can never be reported together with T53.6X2 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- contact with and (suspected) exposure to toxic substances (Z77.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside T53.6X2 to fully describe the condition. T53.6X2 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 T53.6X2, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T53.6X2 and the excluded code may both be reported.
