V54 vs V60
V54 (Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus) compared with V60 (Occupant of heavy transport vehicle 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. V54 carries an Excludes1 note covering V60: “heavy transport vehicle (V60-V69)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
