P58 vs Q44.3

P58 (Neonatal jaundice due to other excessive hemolysis) compared with Q44.3 (Congenital stenosis and stricture of bile ducts), 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. P58 carries an Excludes1 note covering Q44.3: “congenital stenosis and stricture of bile ducts (Q44.3)”

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