Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation. In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere." Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code. "In diseases classified elsewhere" codes are never permitted to be used as first listed or principle diagnosis codes. They must be used in conjunction with an underlying condition code and they must be listed following the underlying condition.

code to identify source of exposure:
Exposure to excessive cold of man-made origin (
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code W93
Exposure to excessive cold of man-made origin
W93
)
Exposure to excessive cold of natural origin (
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code X31
Exposure to excessive natural cold
Applicable To
- Excessive cold as the cause of chilblains NOS
- Excessive cold as the cause of immersion foot or hand
- Exposure to cold NOS
- Exposure to weather conditions
Type 1 Excludes
- cold of man-made origin (W93.-)
- contact with or inhalation of dry ice (W93.-)
- contact with or inhalation of liquefied gas (W93.-)
X31
)

Type 2 Excludes

Type 2 Excludes Help

A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code (T69) and the excluded code together.

frostbite (T33-T34
ICD-10-CM Range T33-T34
Frostbite
Type 2 Excludes
- hypothermia and other effects of reduced temperature (T68, T69.-)
- T33 Superficial frostbite
- T34 Frostbite with tissue necrosis
)
