B26.83 (Mumps nephritis) compared with N08 (Glomerular 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. N08 carries an Excludes1 note covering B26.83: “mumps (B26.83)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
