ICD-10-CMFall into unspecified water causing drowning and submersion, initial encounter
This code describes an incident where an individual falls into a body of water, such as a pool, lake, or ocean, and subsequently experiences drowning or near-drowning due to submersion. The specific type of water body is not identified in the documentation.
Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a fall into an unstated water source resulting in a drowning or submersion event. This is appropriate for the initial treatment of the patient following the incident.
