W37 vs X83

W37 (Explosion and rupture of pressurized tire, pipe or hose) compared with X83 (Intentional self-harm by other specified means), 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. W37 carries an Excludes1 note covering X83: “intentional self-harm (X71-X83)”

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