Use Additional Code

The “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.

• code, if applicable, to identify:
• exposure to environmental tobacco smoke Z77.22
• history of tobacco dependence Z87.891

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.

• subsequent myocardial infarction, type 2 I21.A1
• subsequent myocardial infarction of other type type 3 type 4 type 5 I21.A9
