Jump/div into swim pool strk surfc causing oth injury, init

This code describes an injury sustained when an individual jumps or dives into a swimming pool and impacts the water surface, resulting in an injury other than a fracture or dislocation. This typically involves blunt force trauma from the water itself, rather than striking the pool bottom or side.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries such as concussions, sprains, strains, contusions, or internal organ damage that occur during the initial presentation for treatment following a jump or dive into a swimming pool where the impact was with the water. It should be used when the patient is first seen for this specific incident.

• Ensure the injury is specifically due to striking the water surface, not the pool structure.
• Confirm the encounter is the initial treatment for this specific injury.
• Always code the specific nature of the injury (e.g., concussion, sprain) first, followed by this external cause code.
