How is V78.1 listed in the External Cause Index?

These are the routes through the External Cause of Injuries Index that lead to V78.1 — how the injury happened, rather than what the injury was.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from V70-V79

The conditions below can never be reported together with V78.1 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
