G80 vs G82

G80 (Cerebral palsy) compared with G82 (Paraplegia (paraparesis) and quadriplegia (quadriparesis)), 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. G82 carries an Excludes1 note covering G80: “congenital cerebral palsy (G80.-)”

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