G08 vs O07
G08 (Intracranial and intraspinal phlebitis and thrombophlebitis) compared with O07 (Failed attempted termination of pregnancy), 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. G08 carries an Excludes1 note covering O07: “abortion, ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.7)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
