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

This code signifies a long-term or late effect of an injury sustained from jumping or diving off a boat and subsequently striking the bottom (e.g., lakebed, ocean floor, pool bottom). The initial injury could have been a fracture, sprain, internal injury, or other trauma, and this code is used when the patient is presenting for care related to the residual effects of that past event.

Apply this code when documenting conditions that are a direct consequence of a previous injury from jumping or diving from a boat and hitting the bottom. This includes chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or other lasting impairments resulting from the original incident. This code is appropriate for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or evaluation of permanent disabilities.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) identifying the specific sequela (e.g., chronic back pain, osteoarthritis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past injury event described.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute injury; it is exclusively for sequelae.
