Compare/O28 vs R92

O28 vs R92

O28 (Abnormal findings on antenatal screening of mother) compared with R92 (Abnormal and inconclusive findings on diagnostic imaging of breast), 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. R92 carries an Excludes1 note covering O28: “abnormal findings on antenatal screening of mother (O28.-)”

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