Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from W20-W49

The conditions below can never be reported together with W44.D on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • assault (X92-Y09)
  • contact or collision with animals or persons (W50-W64)
  • exposure to inanimate mechanical forces involving military or war operations (Y36.-, Y37.-)
  • intentional self-harm (X71-X83)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from W44

The conditions below are not part of W44.D, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, W44.D and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • contact with other sharp objects (W26)
  • contact with sharp glass (W25)
  • foreign body or object entering through skin (W45)
