K57 vs K92.2

K57 (Diverticular disease of intestine) compared with K92.2 (Gastrointestinal hemorrhage, unspecified), 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. K92.2 carries an Excludes1 note covering K57: “diverticular disease with hemorrhage (K57.-)”

Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
