N71 vs O08.0
N71 (Inflammatory disease of uterus, except cervix) compared with O08.0 (Genital tract and pelvic infection following ectopic and molar pregnancy), 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. N71 carries an Excludes1 note covering O08.0: “abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.0)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
