Other water transport accident, subsequent encounter

This code indicates that a patient is receiving follow-up care for injuries sustained in an accident involving a watercraft other than those specifically classified (e.g., unpowered boat, personal watercraft, merchant ship, fishing boat). This includes any type of water transport accident not otherwise specified.

Use this code when a patient presents for ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or evaluation of complications related to an injury from an "other" water transport accident. This applies to encounters after the initial treatment phase, such as physical therapy appointments, wound checks, or follow-up consultations for chronic pain.

• Always use in conjunction with an injury code (e.g., fracture, sprain) to specify the nature of the injury.
• Ensure the encounter is indeed "subsequent" and not the initial treatment for the injury.
• Verify that the water transport involved does not fit into a more specific V90-V94 category.
