V89 vs V99.XXXD
V89 (Motor- or nonmotor-vehicle accident, type of vehicle unspecified) compared with V99.XXXD (Unspecified transport accident, 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. V99.XXXD carries an Excludes1 note covering V89: “vehicle accident, type of vehicle unspecified (V89.-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
