Oth injury due to oth accident to passenger ship, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by a passenger on a ship, not otherwise specified, resulting from an accident other than a collision or grounding. This particular code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for ongoing management, follow-up, or complications related to an injury sustained as a passenger on a ship due to an unspecified accident. Examples include follow-up for a sprain, fracture, or laceration that occurred during a fall on deck or an unexpected jolt of the vessel.

• Always assign an external cause code (V91.81XD) in conjunction with a code for the specific injury sustained.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for subsequent care; "A" is for initial encounters and "S" for sequela.
• Verify the patient was a passenger and the incident was an "other accident" on a "passenger ship."
