Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Y83-Y84
The conditions below can never be reported together with Y83 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- misadventures to patients during surgical and medical care, classifiable to (Y62-Y69)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Y83-Y84
The conditions below are not part of Y83, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Y83 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- breakdown or malfunctioning of medical device (after implantation) (during procedure) (ongoing use) (Y70-Y82)
