Fall on board other unpowered watercraft, subs encntr

This code indicates an injury sustained from a fall while on an unpowered watercraft, such as a canoe, kayak, rowboat, or raft, during a subsequent visit for care. This includes follow-up appointments, rehabilitation, or treatment for complications arising from the initial fall.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of an injury (e.g., fracture, sprain, concussion) that occurred due to a fall on an unpowered watercraft. This applies after the initial encounter for the acute injury.

• Always use in conjunction with an injury code describing the specific nature of the injury.
• Ensure the encounter is not the initial treatment for the injury; otherwise, a different encounter character is required.
• Verify the watercraft involved was indeed unpowered to ensure accurate reporting.
