N18 vs O00
N18 (Chronic kidney disease (CKD)) compared with O00 (Ectopic pregnancy), 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. N18 carries an Excludes2 note covering O00: “renal failure complicating abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.4)”
Excludes2 marks distinct conditions — both may be reported when both are documented.
