Summary
No tabular note links these codes. Both belong to category V43, and nothing in the tabular list prevents reporting each when it is documented.
Registry fact- What is different?

MedCoder-derived
Official rule: a tabular instructional note or a section of the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, quoted as published. Registry fact: the codes’ own published attributes (titles, billable status, position in the hierarchy, code set). MedCoder-derived: a reading MedCoder computes from those facts; it is not itself a rule. How to read the labels
Can these codes be reported together?
Yes, when each is documented. V43.14XD and V43.14XS both belong to category V43.
No Excludes1/Excludes2 relationship exists between these codes in the official tabular list. The code titles state what each one covers, and the documentation decides which applies.
Side by side
Similar descriptions do not make codes interchangeable. The documentation and the official instructions decide which code applies.

Notes are the code’s own tabular entry, quoted as published. A note that names the other code is the one the verdict above rests on. In a row that differs, each code’s own notes are listed under it, and the notes every code shares are listed once beneath them.
