Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from W00-W19
The conditions below can never be reported together with W18.11XS 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 W18.11XS, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, W18.11XS and the excluded code may both be reported.
