K94.0 vs T85.732A
K94.0 (Colostomy complications) compared with T85.732A (Infection and inflammatory reaction due to implanted electronic neurostimulator of peripheral nerve, electrode (lead), initial encounter), 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. T85.732A carries an Excludes2 note covering K94.0: “colostomy malfunction (K94.0-)”
Excludes2 marks distinct conditions — both may be reported when both are documented.
Yes, when both are documented. T85.732A carries an Excludes2 note covering K94.0: “ostomy complications (J95.0-, K94.-, N99.5-)”
Excludes2 marks distinct conditions — both may be reported when both are documented.
