Fall d/t clsn betw inflatbl crft and oth wtrcrft/obj, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual due to a fall from an inflatable craft (e.g., raft, inner tube) that collided with another watercraft or a stationary object in the water. The fall is the direct cause of the patient's presenting injury.

Use this code when documenting injuries resulting from a patient falling out of a non-motorized inflatable vessel following an impact with another boat, jet ski, dock, buoy, or submerged debris. This applies to the initial treatment for the acute injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient fell from an inflatable craft and that a collision precipitated the fall.
• Verify that the encounter is for the initial treatment of the injury. Subsequent care would require a different encounter character.
• Distinguish from falls from other types of watercraft or falls not caused by a collision.
