V05.138S vs W51

V05.138S (Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle 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. V05.138S 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).
