Questions About Use Additional Code Notes
What does a Use Additional Code note mean?
A Use Additional Code note tells you to add a second code, reported after the code that carries the note, to describe the condition completely. In an etiology/manifestation pair it sits at the etiology code and points to the manifestation (Section I.A.13). The FY 2027 Tabular List has 1,491 of them; 1,174 name other codes, with 1,438 references to 389 distinct codes, categories and ranges.
Where does the additional code go?
After the code carrying the note. For etiology/manifestation pairs the Guidelines are explicit: the etiology is sequenced first, followed by the manifestation code.
