A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as K22.2. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
A stricture of the esophagus. Most are acquired but can be congenital.
If the physician determines that the condition is acquired, assign code 530.3, Stricture and stenosis of esophagus. If the physician cannot determine whether the condition is congenital or acquired, the default in ICD-9-CM is congenital. However, Schatzky’s ring would be a reportable condition only if it meets the definition of a secondary diagnosis, in that it must be clinically significant or symptomatic. In most cases, when a Schatzky’s ring is found, it is an incidental finding."
Hence if it is not mentioned as congenital in older patients, use 530.3 (Stricture/stenosis of esophagus) as acquied which makes sense. No need to code dysphagia as it is a symptom of 530.3.

Although the default code for unspecified Schatzki's Ring is the congenital code ,#N#1. Unless it meets the UHDDS criteria, I wouldn't code it.#N#2. If it meets the UHDDS criteria, perhaps a query would be appropriate for clarification as to whether it is congenital or acquired.
AHA coding guidelines specify that diagnoses are only coded when they#N#are: evaluated, treated, complicate another condition, affect LOS,#N#require increased nursing care, etc. If a diagnosis is present but does#N#not affect patient's treatment in anyway, it should not be reported.#N#Hope this helps.
