Jump/div from boat striking surfc causing drown, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an incident where an individual jumped or dove from a boat, subsequently striking the water's surface, and experiencing drowning or submersion. It indicates that the initial injury has led to ongoing health issues.

Use this code when documenting conditions that are a direct result of a past drowning or submersion event that occurred after jumping or diving from a boat. This applies to follow-up encounters for chronic respiratory problems, neurological deficits, or other sequelae directly attributable to the initial incident.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a code for the specific sequela (e.g., anoxic brain damage, chronic lung disease).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past drowning/submersion event.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute drowning or submersion encounter.
