Coding Guidance
O12 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are more specific codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. See Related Codes to drill down to more specific billable codes for appropriate reimbursement.
From parent codes: O00-O9A (Chapter 15)
Excludes1 means 'NOT CODED HERE!' An Excludes1 note indicates mutually exclusive codes: two conditions that cannot be reported together.
Excludes2 means '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.
The 'use additional code' note instructs that a secondary code should be added to provide more detail.
