P08.0 vs P70.0
P08.0 (Exceptionally large newborn baby) compared with P70.0 (Syndrome of infant of mother with gestational diabetes), 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. P08.0 carries an Excludes1 note covering P70.0: “syndrome of infant of mother with gestational diabetes (P70.0)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
