Z57.1 vs Z92.3

Z57.1 (Occupational exposure to radiation) compared with Z92.3 (Personal history of irradiation), 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. Z92.3 carries an Excludes1 note covering Z57.1: “occupational exposure to radiation (Z57.1)”

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