E22.0 vs M26.0

E22.0 (Acromegaly and pituitary gigantism) compared with M26.0 (Major anomalies of jaw size), 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. M26.0 carries an Excludes1 note covering E22.0: “acromegaly (E22.0)”

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