Hit by fall object due to acc to oth powered wtrcrft, init

This code signifies an injury sustained when a person is struck by a falling object during an accident involving a powered watercraft other than a motorboat or sailboat. The injury is a direct result of the impact from the falling item, which occurred during an incident with the watercraft. This code is for the initial treatment of such an injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries from falling debris, equipment, or cargo during an accident on a jet ski, personal watercraft, or other powered vessel not classified as a motorboat or sailboat. This includes scenarios where a passenger or crew member is hit by something dislodged during a collision or capsizing. Use this for the first encounter for treatment of the injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a "falling object" as the mechanism of injury, not just being "hit by" the watercraft itself.
• Verify the type of watercraft involved is a "powered watercraft other than motorboat or sailboat."
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury. Subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
