N72 vs O07

N72 (Inflammatory disease of cervix uteri) compared with O07 (Failed attempted termination of 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. N72 carries an Excludes1 note covering O07: “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).
