N76 vs O23
N76 (Other inflammation of vagina and vulva) compared with O23 (Infections of genitourinary tract in 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. N76 carries an Excludes1 note covering O23: “pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O23.-, O75.3, O85, O86.-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
