Jump/div from boat strk surfc causing oth injury, sequela

This code describes a long-term consequence or complication resulting from an injury sustained when an individual jumped or dove from a boat and impacted the water's surface. The initial injury was not a fracture, dislocation, sprain, or strain, but rather another type of trauma. This code is used to report conditions that are residual effects of that original incident.

Apply this code when documenting a current health problem that is a direct result of a past injury from jumping or diving from a boat and striking the water. Examples include chronic pain, nerve damage, or persistent organ dysfunction stemming from the initial water impact. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the acute phase of the original injury has passed.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past boat-related water impact injury.
• Verify that the initial injury was not a fracture, dislocation, sprain, or strain, as those have specific sequela codes.
