V80 vs W00.1XXD

V80 (Animal-rider or occupant of animal-drawn vehicle injured in transport accident) compared with W00.1XXD (Fall from stairs and steps due to ice and snow, subsequent encounter), 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. W00.1XXD carries an Excludes1 note covering V80: “fall from animal (V80.-)”

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