L50 vs L95

L50 (Urticaria) compared with L95 (Vasculitis limited to skin, not elsewhere classified), 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. L95 carries an Excludes1 note covering L50: “urticaria (L50.-)”

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