N81.0 vs N81.1
N81.0 (Urethrocele) compared with N81.1 (Cystocele), 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. N81.0 carries an Excludes1 note covering N81.1: “urethrocele with cystocele (N81.1-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
