What it means
An Excludes 2 note in ICD-10-CM means the excluded condition is not included in the referenced code, but both conditions may be present in the same patient simultaneously. When both conditions exist and are documented, both codes may be reported on the same claim. For example, "Excludes 2: influenza (J09-J11)" on a code for upper respiratory infection means a patient could have both, and if documented, both codes should be billed.
