Crush betw unsp wtrcrft and oth wtrcrft/obj d/t clsn, init

This code describes an injury where a person is crushed between two watercraft or a watercraft and another object during a collision. The specific type of watercraft involved is not identified, nor is the other object. This code is used for the initial encounter for such an injury.

Use this code when documenting injuries sustained by an individual who was crushed in a boating accident involving an unspecified watercraft colliding with another watercraft or an unidentifiable object. This applies to the initial treatment phase following the incident.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the crushing mechanism involved a watercraft collision, but the specific watercraft/object is not detailed.
• Verify that this is the patient's first encounter for treatment of this specific injury.
• Do not use if the type of watercraft or the other object involved in the collision is clearly specified in the medical record.
