Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from V10
The conditions below can never be reported together with V10.9XXD on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- pedal cycle rider collision with animal-drawn vehicle or animal being ridden (V16.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from V10-V19
The conditions below are not part of V10.9XXD, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, V10.9XXD and the excluded code may both be reported.
- rupture of pedal cycle tire (W37.0)
