E20 vs P71.4
E20 (Hypoparathyroidism) compared with P71.4 (Transitory neonatal hypoparathyroidism), 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 P71.4: “transitory neonatal hypoparathyroidism (P71.4)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
