S31.30XS vs S38.2
S31.30XS (Unspecified open wound of scrotum and testes, sequela) compared with S38.2 (Traumatic amputation of external genital organs), 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. S31.30XS carries an Excludes1 note covering S38.2: “traumatic amputation of part of abdomen, lower back and pelvis (S38.2-, S38.3)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
