Excludes2 relationship
What we found
Yes, when both are documented.F51.09 carries an Excludes2 note covering F11.182: “drug-related insomnia (F11.182, F11.282, F11.982, F13.182, F13.282, F13.982, F14.182, F14.282, F14.982, F15.182, F15.282, F15.982, F19.182, F19.282, F19.982)”
Excludes2 marks distinct conditions — both may be reported when both are documented.
What to review
Report both only when the documentation supports both conditions; otherwise report the one documented.
Why it matters
An Excludes2 note means the excluded condition is not part of the code above it, but a patient can have both. Report both when both are documented.
