Wiki Dependence on Renal Dialysis (Z99.2) and Presence of Pacemaker (Z95.0)

The excludes1 note is found at the beginning of the Z99 section for 'dependence on enabling machines and devices, not elsewhere classified' to indicate that pacemaker status should not be coded in this section, and directs you to Z95.0 instead. If you are coding a documented dependence on dialysis as a separate condition from the pacemaker status, then you can disregard the note or edit, as per the instructions given in the guidelines for the excludes1 notes.
