E10.A vs R73.0

E10.A (Type 1 diabetes mellitus, presymptomatic) compared with R73.0 (Abnormal glucose), 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. R73.0 carries an Excludes1 note covering E10.A: “type 1 diabetes mellitus, presymptomatic (E10.A-)”

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