V03.138A vs V03.138S
V03.138A (Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with car, pick-up or van in traffic accident, initial encounter) compared with V03.138S (Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with car, pick-up or van in traffic accident, sequela), from the official CMS tabular data.
Summary
No tabular note links these codes. Both belong to category V03, and nothing in the tabular list prevents reporting each when it is documented.
Registry fact- What is different?
Title wording.The titles share “Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with car, pick-up or van in traffic accident”; V03.138A says “initial encounter” where V03.138S says “sequela”.
Registry fact
- Can these codes be reported together?
No instruction prevents it.No note in either entry names the other. Both belong to category V03; each may be reported when its own documentation is present.
Registry fact
- Is there an Excludes1 relationship?
None.Neither entry carries an Excludes1 note that names the other code. V03.138A carries 3 Excludes1 notes and V03.138S carries 3 Excludes1 notes covering other codes; the side-by-side table quotes them.
Official rule
- Is there an Excludes2 relationship?
None.Neither entry carries an Excludes2 note that names the other code.
Official rule
- Is one more specific?
No.Neither is a subdivision of the other, and neither title is the unspecified form; they describe different conditions within category V03.
Registry fact
- Is one a parent or header code?
No.Both are billable codes, and neither contains the other.
Registry fact
- Are there sequencing instructions?
None.Neither entry carries a Code First or Use Additional Code note that names the other.
Official rule
- Are there other coding relationships?
None found.No laterality, encounter-phase, Table of Neoplasms, Table of Drugs and Chemicals, or history-versus-active-disease relationship links these codes.
MedCoder-derived
Official rule: a tabular instructional note or a section of the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, quoted as published. Registry fact: the codes’ own published attributes (titles, billable status, position in the hierarchy, code set). MedCoder-derived: a reading MedCoder computes from those facts; it is not itself a rule. How to read the labels
Can these codes be reported together?
Yes, when each is documented. V03.138A and V03.138S both belong to category V03.
No Excludes1/Excludes2 relationship exists between these codes in the official tabular list. The code titles state what each one covers, and the documentation decides which applies.

Notes are the code’s own tabular entry, quoted as published. A note that names the other code is the one the verdict above rests on.
