O92 vs Z39.1

O92 (Other disorders of breast and disorders of lactation associated with pregnancy and the puerperium) compared with Z39.1 (Encounter for care and examination of lactating mother), 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. Z39.1 carries an Excludes1 note covering O92: “disorders of lactation (O92.-)”

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