D78 vs T85.732

D78 (Intraoperative and postprocedural complications of the spleen) compared with T85.732 (Infection and inflammatory reaction due to implanted electronic neurostimulator of peripheral nerve, electrode (lead)), from the official CMS tabular data. Both may be reported when both conditions are documented (Excludes2).

Can these codes be reported together?

Yes, when both are documented. T85.732 carries an Excludes2 note covering D78: “intraoperative and postprocedural complications of specified body systems (D78.-, E36.-, E89.-, G97.3-, G97.4, H59.3-, H59.-, H95.2-, H95.3, I97.4-, I97.5, J95.6-, J95.7, K91.6-, L76.-, M96.-, N99.-)”

Excludes2 marks distinct conditions — both may be reported when both are documented.
