Excludes2 — Not Included Here

Conditions not covered by this code, but which may be reported alongside it when both are present.

Code First

Underlying conditions that must be sequenced before this code.

  • pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O22.-, O87.-)

Coder workflow for I82

MedCoder structured workflow — derived from this code’s own official record

Before you code I82

  1. I82 is not reportable as written. Select the more specific code beneath it that the documentation supports. Codes are reported to the highest level of specificity the classification provides (Guidelines I.B.2).

    ReviewI82.0, I82.1, I82.2, I82.3, I82.4, I82.5, I82.6, I82.7, I82.8, I82.9, I82.A, I82.B

    See the relationships section · Guide: How to choose an ICD-10-CM code →

Choose the right path

  1. Does the documentation support one of the more specific codes beneath I82?
    Yes → Select that code and continue the checks below on its own page.
    No → I82 cannot be reported as written. Where the codes beneath it include an unspecified code, that code applies when the record goes no further; otherwise query for the missing detail.

    ReviewI82.0, I82.1, I82.2, I82.3, I82.4, I82.5, I82.6, I82.7, I82.8, I82.9, I82.A, I82.B

  2. Is the underlying (etiologic) condition the Code First note names documented?
    Yes → Sequence the underlying condition first, then the code beneath I82.
    No → Continue; do not add an underlying condition the record does not document.

    ReviewO08.7, O22, O87

Report the code beneath I82 that the documentation supports, not I82 itself. Then confirm that code is valid for the date of service on its own page.

Documentation check

The provider’s diagnostic statement
Codes are assigned from the provider’s documented diagnosis, not from clinical criteria, test values or a medication list (Guidelines I.A.19).
The underlying (etiologic) condition
Named in the Code First note; sequenced before this code when documented (Guidelines I.A.13).
Any detail beyond this code’s title
What the record states that a more specific code would capture — or its absence, which itself supports the unspecified code.

Official instructions as workflow

  • Excludes2 — not part of I82(9 notes)

    Coding workflow: The conditions named in this note are not included in I82. When the record documents both, both may be reported; the note is a boundary, not a prohibition.

    See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.b

  • Code First — sequencing check(3 notes)

    Coding workflow: Check whether the underlying or etiologic condition the note names is documented. When it is, sequence it before I82. Do not add an underlying condition the record does not document.

Coding decision scenarios

Pattern scenarios for this code’s structure — decision rules, not clinical cases

Documentation: The underlying condition the Code First note names is documented alongside this condition.

Coding question: How are the two sequenced?

Path: Review the Code First note.

Reason: The underlying condition is sequenced first and the manifestation follows (Guidelines I.A.13).

ReviewO08.7, O22, O87

Every row is derived from this code’s own record — its title, tabular notes, 7th-character family and same-category siblings — with fixed MedCoder wording; nothing is inferred about a patient. The official notes and guideline text are in the sections each row links to, and they control.
