This code signifies an injury resulting from a drowning or near-drowning incident where the patient fell or jumped from a non-motorized, inflatable vessel that was crushed or damaged. It specifically indicates that this is not the initial presentation for this particular injury.

Apply this code for follow-up care, subsequent treatments, or sequelae related to a drowning or submersion event that occurred due to a patient exiting a damaged, non-powered inflatable craft. This includes scenarios such as rehabilitation, wound care for secondary infections, or ongoing respiratory issues stemming from the initial incident.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the "subsequent encounter" for this specific injury.
• Verify the type of craft involved was non-powered and inflatable, and that it was crushed or damaged.
• Always code the initial encounter for this injury with the appropriate "A" (initial encounter) seventh character.
