G65 vs M54.10

G65 (Sequelae of inflammatory and toxic polyneuropathies) compared with M54.10 (Radiculopathy, site unspecified), 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. G65 carries an Excludes1 note covering M54.10: “radiculitis NOS (M54.10)”

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