H91.1 vs H93.0
H91.1 (Presbycusis) compared with H93.0 (Degenerative and vascular disorders of ear), 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. H93.0 carries an Excludes1 note covering H91.1: “presbycusis (H91.1)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
