D55 vs E72
D55 (Anemia due to enzyme disorders) compared with E72 (Other disorders of amino-acid metabolism), 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. E72 carries an Excludes1 note covering D55: “hemolytic anemias attributable to enzyme disorders (D55.-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
