Crush betw fish boat and oth wtrcrft/obj due to clsn, subs

This code describes injuries sustained by an individual who was crushed between a fishing boat and another watercraft or object during a collision, specifically for follow-up care. The initial injury has already been treated, and the patient is now receiving subsequent treatment for complications, healing, or long-term effects.

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up appointments related to injuries from being crushed in a fishing boat collision. This includes visits for wound care, physical therapy, pain management, or assessment of healing progress after the initial acute phase. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial treatment of the crushing injury.

• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Verify the mechanism of injury specifically involves a fishing boat collision and being crushed.
• Always code with additional codes for the specific crushing injuries sustained.
