E76.0 vs Q77

E76.0 (Mucopolysaccharidosis, type I) compared with Q77 (Osteochondrodysplasia with defects of growth of tubular bones and spine), 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. Q77 carries an Excludes1 note covering E76.0: “mucopolysaccharidosis (E76.0-E76.3)”

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