V80 vs W14
V80 (Animal-rider or occupant of animal-drawn vehicle injured in transport accident) compared with W14 (Fall from tree), 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. W14 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).
