Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from W00-W19
The conditions below can never be reported together with W04.XXXD 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 — inherited from W00-W19
The conditions below are not part of W04.XXXD, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, W04.XXXD and the excluded code may both be reported.
How long has W04.XXXD existed?
W04.XXXD has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
