D00.0 vs D04.0

D00.0 (Carcinoma in situ of lip, oral cavity and pharynx) compared with D04.0 (Carcinoma in situ of skin of lip), 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. D00.0 carries an Excludes1 note covering D04.0: “carcinoma in situ of skin of lip (D03.0, D04.0)”

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