Drown due to fall/jump fr burning inflatbl crft, subs

This code signifies a non-fatal drowning or near-drowning event that occurred when an individual fell or jumped from an inflatable craft that was on fire. The craft involved is specifically nonpowered. This code is used for follow-up care after the initial incident.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent medical encounters for a patient who previously experienced a drowning or submersion injury resulting from exiting a burning, nonpowered inflatable craft. This includes follow-up appointments for respiratory complications, neurological sequelae, or other ongoing health issues directly related to the initial incident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient is receiving follow-up care for a past drowning event.
• Verify the incident involved a nonpowered inflatable craft that was on fire.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the specific injuries or conditions being treated during the subsequent encounter.
