V01 vs W12

V01 (Pedestrian injured in collision with pedal cycle) compared with W12 (Fall on and from scaffolding), 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. W12 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).
