D86.83 vs H20.0
D86.83 (Sarcoid iridocyclitis) compared with H20.0 (Acute and subacute iridocyclitis), 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. H20.0 carries an Excludes1 note covering D86.83: “iridocyclitis, iritis, uveitis (due to) (in) sarcoidosis (D86.83)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
