Includes

This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
  • routine examination of specific system

Type 1 Excludes

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
  • encounter for examination for administrative purposes Z02
  • encounter for examination for suspected conditions, proven not to exist Z03

  • screening examinations Z11 Z13

  • Codes from category Z01 represent the reason for the encounter. A separate procedure code is required to identify any examinations or procedures performed

Health Checkup

Regular health exams and tests can help find problems before they start. They also can help find problems early, when your chances for treatment and cure are better. Which exams and screenings you need depends on your age, health and family history, and lifestyle choices such as what you eat, how active you are, and whether you smoke.

To make the most of your next check-up, here are some things to do before you go:

  • Review your family medical history
  • Find out if you are due for any general screenings or vaccinations
  • Write down a list of issues and questions to take with you
