If a patient has a contusion of the knee (924.11) and a sprain/strain of cruciate ligament of knee (844.2) can you code both the contrusion and the strain/sprain? Wondering because at the beginning of the Contusion heading (920 - 924) it states excludes hemarthrosis (840.0 - 848.9) and the sprain/strain is in that code category.
Thanks,
