V80 vs W00.2XXA
V80 (Animal-rider or occupant of animal-drawn vehicle injured in transport accident) compared with W00.2XXA (Other fall from one level to another due to ice and snow, initial 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. W00.2XXA 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).
