Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Z01
The conditions below can never be reported together with Z01.11 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 Z00-Z13
The conditions below are not part of Z01.11, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Z01.11 and the excluded code may both be reported.
