Civilian wtrcrft in water trnsp acc w military wtrcrft, subs

This code indicates that a civilian watercraft was involved in a collision or other type of accident with a military watercraft, and the patient is being seen for follow-up care related to injuries sustained in that incident. It signifies that the initial treatment for the accident has already occurred.

Apply this code for any subsequent visits where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment, monitoring, or rehabilitation for injuries directly resulting from a water transport accident between a civilian and military vessel. Examples include follow-up appointments for fracture healing, physical therapy for sprains, or psychological counseling for trauma related to the event.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient is being seen for a subsequent encounter related to the original accident.
• Verify the involvement of both a civilian and military watercraft in the accident.
• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis for the specific injury or condition being treated.
