B06 vs P35.0
B06 (Rubella [German measles]) compared with P35.0 (Congenital rubella syndrome), 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. B06 carries an Excludes1 note covering P35.0: “congenital rubella (P35.0)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
