F44.6 vs H91
F44.6 (Conversion disorder with sensory symptom or deficit) compared with H91 (Other and unspecified hearing loss), 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. H91 carries an Excludes1 note covering F44.6: “psychogenic deafness (F44.6)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
