Oth water transport accident w military wtrcrft, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication arising from a past water transport accident that specifically involved a military watercraft. It indicates that the injury or illness being treated is a residual effect of such an incident, rather than the acute event itself.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic injury, disability, or other health problem directly attributable to a previous accident involving a military vessel on water. This applies to conditions like chronic pain, amputations, neurological deficits, or psychological sequelae (e.g., PTSD) that are a direct consequence of the original water transport mishap.

• Always use in conjunction with a code identifying the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past military watercraft accident.
• This code is for sequelae only; do not use for the initial acute injury.
