E08 vs M90

E08 (Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition) compared with M90 (Osteopathies in diseases classified elsewhere), 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. M90 carries an Excludes1 note covering E08: “diabetes mellitus (E08-E13 with .69-)”

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