V00.038A (Pedestrian on foot injured in collision with rider of other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance, initial encounter) compared with W05 (Fall from non-moving wheelchair, nonmotorized scooter and motorized mobility scooter), 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. V00.038A carries an Excludes1 note covering W05: “fall from non-moving wheelchair, nonmotorized scooter and motorized mobility scooter without collision (W05.-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
