F52 vs N53

F52 (Sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition) compared with N53 (Other male sexual dysfunction), 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. N53 carries an Excludes1 note covering F52: “psychogenic sexual dysfunction (F52.-)”

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