V50 vs V76
V50 (Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal) compared with V76 (Bus occupant injured in collision with other nonmotor 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. V76 carries an Excludes1 note covering V50: “minibus (V50-V59)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
