J10 vs P36
J10 (Influenza due to other identified influenza virus) compared with P36 (Bacterial sepsis of newborn), from the official CMS tabular data. Both may be reported when both conditions are documented (Excludes2).
Can these codes be reported together?
Yes, when both are documented. P36 carries an Excludes2 note covering J10: “infectious diseases not specific to the perinatal period (A00-B99, J09, J10.-)”
Excludes2 marks distinct conditions — both may be reported when both are documented.
