G93.6 vs P11.0
G93.6 (Cerebral edema) compared with P11.0 (Cerebral edema due to birth injury), 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. G93.6 carries an Excludes1 note covering P11.0: “cerebral edema due to birth injury (P11.0)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
