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
These feeding problems affect newborns and include vomiting, feeding too slowly or too much, and difficulty feeding at the breast.
P92 separates problems by feeding pattern or symptom. Vomiting has its own branch, with subdivisions for vomiting with bile and other vomiting. Bringing food back up has another subdivision. The remaining codes distinguish slow feeding, underfeeding, overfeeding, difficulty feeding at breast, failure to thrive, and other or unspecified feeding problems.
