V80 vs W03
V80 (Animal-rider or occupant of animal-drawn vehicle injured in transport accident) compared with W03 (Other fall on same level due to collision with another person), 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. W03 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).
