Jump/div into swimming pool strk bottom causing drown, init

This code signifies an accidental injury resulting from an individual jumping or diving into a swimming pool and striking the bottom, subsequently leading to drowning or near-drowning. It specifically captures the initial presentation of such an event, indicating the acute phase of the injury and its immediate consequences.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with drowning or submersion injuries directly attributable to impacting the bottom of a swimming pool after a jump or dive. This would include scenarios where the patient is brought in for emergency care following such an incident, regardless of the severity of the submersion injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the drowning/submersion to striking the pool bottom after jumping or diving.
• This code is for the initial encounter; use subsequent encounter codes for follow-up care related to this specific injury.
• Always code the specific drowning/submersion condition (e.g., T75.1X1A for nonfatal drowning) as a primary diagnosis, with this code as an external cause code.
