I89 vs N50.89
I89 (Other noninfective disorders of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes) compared with N50.89 (Other specified disorders of the male genital organs), 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. I89 carries an Excludes1 note covering N50.89: “chylocele, tunica vaginalis (nonfilarial) NOS (N50.89)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
