V03 vs W00
V03 (Pedestrian injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van) compared with W00 (Fall due to ice and snow), 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. V03 carries an Excludes1 note covering W00: “pedestrian on foot falling (slipping) on ice and snow (W00.-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
