A52.76 vs N37
A52.76 (Other genitourinary symptomatic late syphilis) compared with N37 (Urethral disorders in diseases classified elsewhere), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
Can these codes be reported together?
No — do not report together. N37 carries an Excludes1 note covering A52.76: “syphilis (A52.76)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
