Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from V00-V09
The conditions below can never be reported together with V02.938A on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
How long has V02.938A existed?
V02.938A first appears in FY2021 (FY2020 is not available, so it may have appeared then).
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
