Drown after fall into bathtub, undetermined intent, init

This code signifies a patient presenting with injuries or conditions resulting from an incident where they fell into a bathtub and subsequently experienced drowning or submersion. The intent of this event is unknown or cannot be determined by the healthcare provider.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a fall into a bathtub leading to a drowning or submersion event, and the circumstances surrounding the fall (e.g., accidental, self-harm, assault) are not specified or are unclear. This is appropriate for the initial treatment of such an injury.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "undetermined intent" or provides insufficient information to classify the intent.
• Confirm the encounter is the first time the patient is receiving active treatment for this specific injury.
• Do not use if the intent (e.g., accidental, intentional self-harm) is clearly documented.
