Heat exposure on board other powered watercraft, subs encntr

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or complications related to an initial injury caused by excessive heat exposure while on a powered watercraft other than a ship, such as a motorboat or jet ski. The patient has already received initial treatment for the heat-related illness.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient returns for ongoing management, evaluation of sequelae, or treatment of complications stemming from heat exposure that occurred on a powered watercraft. This includes situations like follow-up for heat exhaustion, heat stroke, or dehydration initially sustained during such an event.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the heat exposure occurred on a powered watercraft other than a ship.
• Pair with a code for the specific heat-related illness (e.g., T67.0XXA for heatstroke, T67.5XXA for heat exhaustion).
