Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from W00-W19

The conditions below can never be reported together with W18.11XD on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • assault involving a fall (Y01-Y02)
  • fall from animal (V80.-)
  • fall (in) (from) machinery (in operation) (W28-W31)
  • fall (in) (from) transport vehicle (V01-V99)
  • intentional self-harm involving a fall (X80-X81)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from W00-W19

The conditions below are not part of W18.11XD, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, W18.11XD and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • at risk for fall (history of fall) Z91.81
  • fall (in) (from) burning building (X00.-)
  • fall into fire (X00-X04, X08)
