V04.038 vs W03
V04.038 (Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident) compared with W03 (Other fall on same level due to collision with 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. V04.038 carries an Excludes1 note covering W03: “fall due to non-transport collision with other person (W03)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
