Please help me understand the logic behind the following coding scenario:
Patient has been diagnosed with CIS of the Endocervix (D06.0) and CIN 1 of the Cervix (N87.0). When I checked the "Excludes 1" for each code I found the following:
D06. "Exclude 1" CIN 2 and CIN 3.
N87. "Exclude 1" CIS D06.
Based on these guidelines, how should these results be coded.
Thank you very much for any and all feedback.
