G72 vs M62.2
G72 (Other and unspecified myopathies) compared with M62.2 (Nontraumatic ischemic infarction of muscle), 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. G72 carries an Excludes1 note covering M62.2: “ischemic infarction of muscle (M62.2-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
Yes, when both are documented. M62.2 carries an Excludes2 note covering G72: “muscular dystrophies and myopathies (G71-G72)”
Excludes2 marks distinct conditions — both may be reported when both are documented.
