Activity, ice skating

This code identifies an injury or health condition that occurred while the patient was engaged in the recreational or competitive activity of ice skating. It specifies the external cause of the injury as participation in this particular sport.

Use this code as a secondary diagnosis to indicate the activity responsible for an injury, such as a fracture, sprain, or concussion, that occurred during ice skating. It is appropriate for both figure skating and general recreational ice skating.

• Always assign this code in conjunction with a primary diagnosis code for the actual injury or condition.
• Do not use this code if the activity involved ice hockey; refer to the specific code for ice hockey instead.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the injury occurred while the patient was ice skating.
