D89.40 vs R77.1

D89.40 (Mast cell activation, unspecified) compared with R77.1 (Abnormality of globulin), 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. D89.40 carries an Excludes1 note covering R77.1: “hyperglobulinemia NOS (R77.1)”

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