E13 vs M14
E13 (Other specified diabetes mellitus) compared with M14 (Arthropathies in other 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. M14 carries an Excludes1 note covering E13: “diabetes mellitus (E08-E13 with .61-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
