The condition treated should also be coded if still present. Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here.".
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.
When the reason for an encounter is aftercare following a procedure or injury, the 2012 ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines and Reporting should be consulted to ensure that the correct code is assigned. Codes for reporting most types of aftercare are found in Chapter 21. However, aftercare related to injuries is reported with codes from Chapter 19, using seventh-character extensions to identify the service as aftercare.
Codes for encounters for antineoplastic radiation, chemotherapy and immunotherapy (Z51.0, Z51.1-) are assigned if the sole reason for the encounter is antineoplastic therapy – even if the patient still has the neoplastic disease.
Aftercare visit codes cover situations occurring when the initial treatment of a disease has been performed and the patient requires continued care during the healing or recovery phase, or care for the long-term consequences of the disease.
The codes for factors influencing health and contact with health services represent reasons for encounters. In ICD-10-CM, these codes are located in Chapter 21 and have the initial alpha character of “Z,” so codes in this chapter eventually may be referred to as “Z-codes” (just as the same supplementary codes in ICD-9-CM were referred to as “V-codes”). While code descriptions in Chapter 21, such as aftercare, may appear to denote descriptions of services or procedures, they are not procedure codes. These codes represent the reason for the encounter, service or visit, and the procedure must be reported with the appropriate procedure code.
