F51.0 vs Z72.821

F51.0 (Insomnia not due to a substance or known physiological condition) compared with Z72.821 (Inadequate sleep hygiene), 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. Z72.821 carries an Excludes1 note covering F51.0: “insomnia (F51.0-, G47.0-)”

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