C53 vs D06
C53 (Malignant neoplasm of cervix uteri) compared with D06 (Carcinoma in situ of cervix uteri), 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. C53 carries an Excludes1 note covering D06: “carcinoma in situ of cervix uteri (D06.-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
