R06.0 vs R06.82
R06.0 (Dyspnea) compared with R06.82 (Tachypnea, not elsewhere classified), 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. R06.0 carries an Excludes1 note covering R06.82: “tachypnea NOS (R06.82)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
