D82.2 vs E34.3
D82.2 (Immunodeficiency with short-limbed stature) compared with E34.3 (Short stature due to endocrine disorder), 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. E34.3 carries an Excludes1 note covering D82.2: “short-limbed stature with immunodeficiency (D82.2)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
