L75 vs Q84

L75 (Apocrine sweat disorders) compared with Q84 (Other congenital malformations of integument), 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. L75 carries an Excludes1 note covering Q84: “congenital malformations of integument (Q84.-)”

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