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

This code describes an injury where a patient was crushed between two watercraft or a watercraft and another object during a collision. It specifically indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

Use this code for follow-up visits related to injuries sustained from being crushed in a watercraft collision. This includes situations like wound care, physical therapy, or monitoring for complications after initial treatment for fractures, internal injuries, or severe contusions resulting from such an event.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Verify the mechanism of injury specifically involves being crushed between watercraft or a watercraft and another object in a collision.
• Pair with an external cause code (V91.19XA, V91.19XS, etc.) to fully describe the event and the patient's activity at the time of injury.
