P93 vs P96.1

P93 (Reactions and intoxications due to drugs administered to newborn) compared with P96.1 (Neonatal withdrawal symptoms from maternal use of drugs of addiction), 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 P96.1: “withdrawal symptoms from maternal use of drugs of addiction (P96.1)”

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