Inj to rider of nonrecr wtrcrft puld beh oth wtrcrft, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who is being towed by another watercraft (e.g., a boat pulling a tube or wakeboarder), where the injured person is on a non-recreational watercraft. This specifically refers to the initial medical encounter for the injury.

Use this code when documenting injuries to individuals on commercial or utility watercraft (e.g., a work barge, commercial fishing vessel, or rescue craft) that are being pulled by another vessel. This applies to the first time a healthcare provider assesses and treats the injury.

• Ensure the watercraft being ridden is explicitly documented as non-recreational.
• Verify the injury occurred while the watercraft was being pulled by another vessel.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the specific injury.
