MedCoder analysis — pairs from this code’s official notes, distinctions written by MedCoder

The codes most likely to be picked instead of V00-V99 — named in its own official notes, or sharing its laterality or encounter family — with what separates them and which documentation moves the case. Each links to the full comparison.

W31— Excludes1 conflict (Excludes1 — generally not reported together)
Not coded here — the tabular list excludes this pair for the same encounter.
Not reported together with this code, except where the two conditions are documented as unrelated.
What moves you there: Documentation of agricultural vehicles in stationary use or maintenance moves the case to W31; the two are not reported together unless documented as unrelated.

Y03— Excludes1 conflict (Excludes1 — generally not reported together)
Not coded here — the tabular list excludes this pair for the same encounter.
Not reported together with this code, except where the two conditions are documented as unrelated.
What moves you there: Documentation of assault by crashing of motor vehicle moves the case to Y03; the two are not reported together unless documented as unrelated.

X34— Excludes2 relationship (Informational)
Distinct conditions — both may be reported.
A distinct condition — both may be reported when both are documented.
What moves you there: Documentation of transport accidents due to cataclysm adds X34; it is not part of this code and both may be reported when both are documented.

5 Excludes1 entries — codes named there are generally not reported together with this code (Guidelines I.A.12.a). See the Excludes1 notes
1 Excludes2 entry — those conditions are not part of this code and may be reported additionally when documented. See the Excludes2 notes

Checklist rows are derived from this code's own official directives; the wording of each check is MedCoder editorial. The official notes themselves are in the sections each row links to.
