This code signifies an incident where an individual experienced drowning or submersion as a direct result of being ejected from a watercraft due to its movement. The specific type of watercraft involved in the incident is not known or documented.

Apply this code for initial encounters involving patients who present with symptoms of drowning or near-drowning after being thrown from an unidentifiable watercraft. This would include scenarios where a person was on a boat, jet ski, or other vessel, and was propelled into the water by a sudden jolt, wave, or maneuver, leading to submersion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was "thrown overboard" by the watercraft's motion.
• Only use this code when the type of watercraft is not specified in the medical record.
• Remember the "A" at the end indicates an initial encounter for treatment.
