B74 vs R82.0

B74 (Filariasis) compared with R82.0 (Chyluria), 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. R82.0 carries an Excludes1 note covering B74: “filarial chyluria (B74.-)”

Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
