Combination codes are used for both symptom and diagnosis, as well as etiology and manifestations. Combination codes combine the diagnosis code with the associated manifestation or complication code, or the cause and effect codes, into one single code. Excludes codes are used to indicate that certain codes are not to be used together, laterality codes are used to designate which side of the body is affected, and array codes are not a recognized classification of codes.
