V28 vs V39
V28 (Motorcycle rider injured in noncollision transport accident) compared with V39 (Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in other and unspecified transport accidents), 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. V28 carries an Excludes1 note covering V39: “three-wheeled motor vehicle (V30-V39)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
