V80 vs W18.41XD

V80 (Animal-rider or occupant of animal-drawn vehicle injured in transport accident) compared with W18.41XD (Slipping, tripping and stumbling without falling due to stepping on object, 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. W18.41XD 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).
