E83.5 vs M11.2

E83.5 (Disorders of calcium metabolism) compared with M11.2 (Other chondrocalcinosis), 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. E83.5 carries an Excludes1 note covering M11.2: “chondrocalcinosis (M11.1-M11.2)”

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