O04.85 vs O22

O04.85 (Other venous complications following (induced) termination of pregnancy) compared with O22 (Venous complications and hemorrhoids 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. O22 carries an Excludes1 note covering O04.85: “induced abortion (O04.85)”

Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
