V56 vs V69
V56 (Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle) compared with V69 (Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in other and unspecified transport accidents), 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. V56 carries an Excludes1 note covering V69: “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).
