W37 vs X92
W37 (Explosion and rupture of pressurized tire, pipe or hose) compared with X92 (Assault by drowning and submersion), 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 X92: “assault (X92-Y09)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
