Jump/div into swim pool strk bottom causing oth injury, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained from jumping or diving into a swimming pool and striking the bottom, resulting in an injury other than a fracture or spinal cord injury. This specific code is used for follow-up care after the initial injury has been treated.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment, follow-up evaluations, or rehabilitation for an injury (e.g., sprain, strain, contusion, laceration) that occurred due to striking the bottom of a swimming pool after jumping or diving. It should be used after the initial emergency room visit or acute care admission.

• Ensure the documentation clearly indicates the injury is a result of striking the bottom of a swimming pool, not just a general pool injury.
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment.
• Always code the specific nature of the "other injury" first, followed by this external cause code.
