E13 vs G54.5
E13 (Other specified diabetes mellitus) compared with G54.5 (Neuralgic amyotrophy), 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. G54.5 carries an Excludes1 note covering E13: “neuralgic amyotrophy in diabetes mellitus (E08-E13 with .44)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
