V59 vs V73
V59 (Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in other and unspecified transport accidents) compared with V73 (Bus occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van), 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. V73 carries an Excludes1 note covering V59: “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).
