V01 vs W11

V01 (Pedestrian injured in collision with pedal cycle) compared with W11 (Fall on and from ladder), 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. W11 carries an Excludes1 note covering V01: “fall (in) (from) transport vehicle (V01-V99)”

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