G83.2 vs I69.83

G83.2 (Monoplegia of upper limb) compared with I69.83 (Monoplegia of upper limb following other cerebrovascular disease), 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. G83.2 carries an Excludes1 note covering I69.83: “monoplegia of upper limbs due to sequela of cerebrovascular disease (I69.03-, I69.13-, I69.23-, I69.33-, I69.83-, I69.93-)”
