V04.19XS vs W51

V04.19XS (Pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident, sequela) 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. V04.19XS 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).
