Jump/div into oth water striking surfc causing drown, subs

This code describes a drowning or near-drowning event that occurred due to an individual jumping or diving into water and striking the water surface. It specifically indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up care, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or monitoring for delayed complications (e.g., pneumonia, neurological deficits) after an initial drowning or near-drowning incident caused by striking the water surface during a jump or dive. This applies to situations where the initial injury has already been treated and the patient is returning for ongoing management.

• Always pair with an external cause code (V90-V94) to fully describe the circumstances of the incident.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter; do not use for initial or sequela encounters.
• Document the specific nature of the follow-up care being provided to support the "subsequent encounter" designation.
