G40.B09 vs P90
G40.B09 (Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, not intractable, without status epilepticus) compared with P90 (Convulsions of newborn), 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. G40.B09 carries an Excludes1 note covering P90: “seizure of newborn (P90)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
