V02 vs W51

V02 (Pedestrian injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle) compared with W51 (Accidental striking against or bumped into by another person), 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. V02 carries an Excludes1 note covering W51: “struck or bumped by another person (W51)”

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