E05.8 vs E22

E05.8 (Other thyrotoxicosis) compared with E22 (Hyperfunction of pituitary gland), 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. E22 carries an Excludes1 note covering E05.8: “overproduction of thyroid-stimulating hormone (E05.8-)”

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