Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with T78.071 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- Anaphylactic reaction due to milk and dairy products with tolerance to baked milk (T78.070)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside T78.071 to fully describe the condition. T78.071 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 T78.071, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T78.071 and the excluded code may both be reported.
