D03.5 vs D06

D03.5 (Melanoma in situ of trunk) 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. D06 carries an Excludes1 note covering D03.5: “melanoma in situ of cervix (D03.5)”

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