E00 vs E02

E00 (Congenital iodine-deficiency syndrome) compared with E02 (Subclinical iodine-deficiency hypothyroidism), 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. E00 carries an Excludes1 note covering E02: “subclinical iodine-deficiency hypothyroidism (E02)”

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