V29 vs V35

V29 (Motorcycle rider injured in other and unspecified transport accidents) compared with V35 (Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle), 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. V35 carries an Excludes1 note covering V29: “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).
