V01 vs W18.31XD
V01 (Pedestrian injured in collision with pedal cycle) compared with W18.31XD (Fall on same level due to stepping on an object, subsequent encounter), 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?

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