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.

Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

About the P92 Code Range
The ICD-10 code section P92 captures various feeding problems specific to newborns, including issues like vomiting, regurgitation, and difficulties with breastfeeding. These codes are used to document and classify different feeding disorders that may affect infants shortly after birth.
The ICD-10 code for conditions like vomiting of newborn (P92.0) includes more specific types such as bilious vomiting (P92.01), which involves bile pigment regurgitation. Other vomiting presentations are coded under P92.09. Regurgitation and rumination issues are identified by P92.1, covering symptoms from undigested food to chronic regurgitation. Feeding challenges such as slow feeding (P92.2), underfeeding (P92.3), and overfeeding (P92.4) specify the type of intake problem. Difficulty breastfeeding is coded as P92.5, while failure to thrive (P92.6) denotes more severe growth and feeding impairments in newborns. Other less specific feeding difficulties fall under P92.8, and unspecified feeding problems are coded as P92.9. These detailed codes guide healthcare providers in accurately recording newborn feeding disorders for diagnosis and treatment.
