P29.8 vs R01
P29.8 (Other cardiovascular disorders originating in the perinatal period) compared with R01 (Cardiac murmurs and other cardiac sounds), 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. R01 carries an Excludes1 note covering P29.8: “cardiac murmurs and sounds originating in the perinatal period (P29.8)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
