Excludes1 inherited from the categories above V94.811A
These are not written on V94.811A, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing V94.811A with anything listed here is a denial.
Other codes that can never be billed with V94.811A
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V94.811A. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V94.811A alone.
