D55 vs P51

D55 (Anemia due to enzyme disorders) compared with P51 (Umbilical hemorrhage of newborn), 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. P51 carries an Excludes1 note covering D55: “hereditary hemolytic anemias (D55-D58)”

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