Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Z89
The conditions below can never be reported together with Z89.4 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Code also — inherited from Z77-Z99
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether Z89.4 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
