P70.0 vs R73
P70.0 (Syndrome of infant of mother with gestational diabetes) compared with R73 (Elevated blood glucose level), 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. R73 carries an Excludes1 note covering P70.0: “neonatal disorders (P70.0-P70.2)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
