D65 vs O46.0

D65 (Disseminated intravascular coagulation [defibrination syndrome]) compared with O46.0 (Antepartum hemorrhage with coagulation defect), 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. D65 carries an Excludes1 note covering O46.0: “pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O45.0, O46.0, O67.0, O72.3)”

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