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

This code describes an injury sustained when an individual jumps or dives into a swimming pool and strikes the wall, resulting in an injury other than a fracture or dislocation. This specific code is used for follow-up care after the initial injury has been treated.

Apply this code when a patient presents for subsequent treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or follow-up imaging, related to a non-fracture/dislocation injury from striking a pool wall after jumping or diving. This includes scenarios like contusions, sprains, strains, or lacerations from such an event.

• Always assign an additional code to specify the exact nature of the "other injury" (e.g., S90.02XA for contusion of ankle, initial encounter).
• Ensure the encounter is truly subsequent; for the initial treatment of the injury, a code with an "A" (initial encounter) seventh character would be used.
• Verify documentation clearly indicates the mechanism of injury (jumping/diving into a pool, striking the wall) and that the injury is not a fracture or dislocation.
