Fall into swimming pool strk bottom causing oth injury, init

This code describes an injury sustained by a patient who has fallen into a swimming pool and made contact with the bottom, resulting in an injury other than drowning or near-drowning. It specifically indicates the initial presentation for this type of incident.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's first encounter for an injury (e.g., fracture, sprain, contusion) that occurred due to falling into a swimming pool and hitting the pool's bottom. This excludes cases where the primary injury is related to submersion.

• Always use in conjunction with a code identifying the specific injury sustained (e.g., fracture, sprain).
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient struck the bottom of the pool.
• Verify this is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific injury; subsequent encounters would use a different seventh character.
