G45 vs P91.0

G45 (Transient cerebral ischemic attacks and related syndromes) compared with P91.0 (Neonatal cerebral ischemia), 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. G45 carries an Excludes1 note covering P91.0: “neonatal cerebral ischemia (P91.0)”

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