ICD-10-CM CC excludes notations indicate conditions that are not included under a specific diagnosis code, meaning that the listed conditions should not be reported together with the primary diagnosis. There are two types of excludes notations: "Excludes1" indicates that the conditions are mutually exclusive, while "Excludes2" suggests that the conditions can coexist but are not to be reported together for the same episode of care. These notations help ensure accurate coding and billing by clarifying which diagnoses should be documented separately.
