How is V38.1 listed in the External Cause Index?

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from V30-V39
The conditions below can never be reported together with V38.1 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
