Medicare Code Edits (MCE v43.1 (April 2026))

• Adult diagnoses (age 15 through 124): Age conflict edit. These diagnoses are clinically expected only in patients age 15 through 124.
• Unacceptable principal diagnosis: These codes describe a circumstance which influences care but is not a current illness or injury, or capture only an underlying condition, and are unacceptable as principal diagnosis.
