W16.012D
ICD-10-CMFall into swimming pool striking water surface causing other injury, subsequent encounter
This code describes an injury sustained from falling into a swimming pool and hitting the water's surface, resulting in an injury other than drowning or near-drowning. This specific code is used for a subsequent encounter, indicating the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury that occurred previously.
Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing treatment, evaluation, or management of an injury (e.g., contusion, sprain, fracture, internal injury) that was caused by falling into a swimming pool and striking the water. This is appropriate for any visit after the initial encounter for the same injury.
