O07.0 vs O07.37

O07.0 (Genital tract and pelvic infection following failed attempted termination of pregnancy) compared with O07.37 (Sepsis following 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. O07.0 carries an Excludes1 note covering O07.37: “sepsis following failed attempted termination of pregnancy (O07.37)”

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