P04.4 vs P93

P04.4 (Newborn affected by maternal use of drugs of addiction) compared with P93 (Reactions and intoxications due to drugs administered to newborn), 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. P93 carries an Excludes1 note covering P04.4: “reactions and intoxications from maternal opiates, tranquilizers and other medication (P04.0-P04.1, P04.4-)”

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