Excludes1: never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • dry mouth due to dehydration (E86.0)
  • dry mouth due to Sjögren syndrome (M35.0-)

Excludes2: not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • salivary gland hyposecretion (K11.7)

Other codes that can never be billed with R68.2
