Intentional self-harm by drown while in bathtub, subs

This code signifies an injury resulting from a deliberate act of self-harm where the individual attempted to drown or submerge themselves in a bathtub. The "D" in the seventh character indicates that this is a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care for the initial injury.

Use this code when documenting ongoing treatment, monitoring, or rehabilitation for a patient who previously sustained injuries from an intentional self-harm attempt by drowning or submersion in a bathtub. This includes situations like wound care, psychological counseling, or physical therapy related to the initial event.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the self-harm was intentional and occurred in a bathtub.
• Verify that this is not the initial encounter for the injury; if it is, a different seventh character would be required.
• Always code additional diagnoses for any specific injuries sustained (e.g., anoxic brain injury, aspiration pneumonia) due to the drowning attempt.
