V47.6XXD vs V70

V47.6XXD (Car passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident, subsequent encounter) compared with V70 (Bus occupant injured in collision with pedestrian or animal), 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. V47.6XXD carries an Excludes1 note covering V70: “motorcoach (V70-V79)”

Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
