Other water transport accident, sequela

This code indicates a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained in a non-specified water transport accident. This includes any lingering physical or psychological effects that manifest after the initial acute phase of the injury has passed. The original accident involved a watercraft or water-based activity not otherwise categorized.

Use this code when documenting a patient's current condition that is directly attributable to a past water transport accident, such as chronic pain from a fracture sustained during a boating incident or psychological sequelae from a near-drowning event. This code is appropriate when the specific type of water transport accident is not further detailed or is not classifiable to a more specific V90-V94 category.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, psychological disorder).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past water transport accident.
• Avoid using this code for acute injuries; it is strictly for residual conditions.
