Y07 vs Y36

Y07 (Perpetrator of assault, maltreatment and neglect) compared with Y36 (Operations of war), 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. Y07 carries an Excludes1 note covering Y36: “injuries due to operations of war (Y36.-)”

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