Activity, water polo

This code identifies water polo as the specific activity being performed when an injury or other adverse event occurs. It indicates the patient was engaged in this aquatic team sport at the time of the incident.

Apply this code as a secondary external cause code when documenting injuries sustained during a water polo game, practice, or related activity. It helps to provide context for the mechanism of injury, such as a sprain, fracture, or concussion occurring while playing water polo.

• Always use in conjunction with an external cause status code (e.g., Y99.0 for civilian activity).
• Do not use as a primary diagnosis; it always supplements an injury code.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was participating in water polo at the time of injury.
