G10 vs G25.5
G10 (Huntington's disease) compared with G25.5 (Other chorea), 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. G25.5 carries an Excludes1 note covering G10: “Huntington's chorea (G10)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
