E20 vs N62

E20 (Hypoparathyroidism) compared with N62 (Hypertrophy of breast), 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. E20 carries an Excludes1 note covering N62: “gynecomastia (N62)”

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