O75.1 vs T79.4

O75.1 (Shock during or following labor and delivery) compared with T79.4 (Traumatic shock), 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. T79.4 carries an Excludes1 note covering O75.1: “obstetric shock (O75.1)”

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