E24 vs N64.3

E24 (Cushing's syndrome) compared with N64.3 (Galactorrhea not associated with childbirth), 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. E24 carries an Excludes1 note covering N64.3: “galactorrhea (N64.3)”

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