Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from W00-W19
The conditions below can never be reported together with W15.XXXS 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 W15.XXXS, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, W15.XXXS and the excluded code may both be reported.
How long has W15.XXXS existed?
W15.XXXS has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
