Jump/div in natrl body of wtr strk surfc cause oth inj, subs

This code describes an injury sustained from jumping or diving into a natural body of water (e.g., lake, ocean, river) where the impact with the water's surface caused an injury other than a fracture or dislocation. This specific code is for a subsequent encounter, indicating the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury previously diagnosed.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment or recovery for a patient who initially presented with an injury like a severe bruise, sprain, strain, or internal injury resulting from a forceful impact with the water after jumping or diving. It would be used for visits after the initial diagnosis and treatment.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a "natural body of water" and not a swimming pool or artificial structure.
• Verify that the injury is not a fracture or dislocation, as those have more specific codes.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter (D) and not the initial (A) or sequela (S) phase of care.
