V20 (Motorcycle rider injured in collision with pedestrian or animal) compared with V33.1XXA (Passenger in three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident, initial encounter), 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. V33.1XXA carries an Excludes1 note covering V20: “motorcycle with sidecar (V20-V29)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
