Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

This code requires a 7th character

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S63

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

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above S63.6

Not part of this code, but both may be coded when both are present.
