Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from X00-X08
The conditions below can never be reported together with X06.2 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- arson (X97)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from X00-X08
The conditions below are not part of X06.2, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, X06.2 and the excluded code may both be reported.
