Received denial from insurance stating can not bill C77.0 with C78.00 due to Excludes1 note and I agree however can I change C77.0 to C77.9 even when I know the site of the malignancy?
 
No you cannot change the code but this is perhaps one the "mistakes" they made with th exclude 1 provision. You can apples this as long as you can show that these conditions are in fact not related to each other.
