V01 vs W18.12XS

V01 (Pedestrian injured in collision with pedal cycle) compared with W18.12XS (Fall from or off toilet with subsequent striking against object, sequela), 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. W18.12XS 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).
