W06 vs Y02

W06 (Fall from bed) compared with Y02 (Assault by pushing or placing victim in front of moving object), 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. W06 carries an Excludes1 note covering Y02: “assault involving a fall (Y01-Y02)”

Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
