Oth injury due to other accident to water-skis, subs encntr

This code indicates an injury sustained during a water-skiing accident, where the specific type of accident is not otherwise classified. It is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury that occurred in the past, rather than the initial treatment.

Apply this code for patients presenting for subsequent care (e.g., cast change, physical therapy, wound check) for an injury resulting from a water-skiing incident that doesn't fit more specific accident categories. This includes injuries from collisions with objects not otherwise specified, or other unusual water-skiing mishaps.

• Requires a 7th character "D" for subsequent encounter.
• Always sequence this external cause code after the primary injury code.
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the injury is due to a water-skiing accident and that it's a follow-up visit.
