D71 (Functional disorders of polymorphonuclear neutrophils) compared with D89.40 (Mast cell activation, unspecified), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
Not coded here — these two are mutually exclusive.
“functional disorders of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (D71-)”
An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur together, so the pair should not be reported for the same encounter. The sole exception is when the conditions are documented as unrelated to each other.
