N63.25 vs O91
N63.25 (Unspecified lump in the left breast, overlapping quadrants) compared with O91 (Infections of breast associated with pregnancy, the puerperium and lactation), 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. N63.25 carries an Excludes1 note covering O91: “disorders of breast associated with childbirth (O91-O92)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
