Activity, other involving ice and snow

This code identifies injuries or conditions resulting from participation in various recreational or occupational activities performed on or with ice and snow, excluding those specifically categorized elsewhere (e.g., skiing, snowboarding). It encompasses a broad range of incidents where ice and snow are the primary environmental factors contributing to the event.

Apply this code when documentation indicates an injury occurred during activities like ice skating (non-competitive), sledding, tobogganing, building snowmen, or general play in snowy/icy conditions. It is also appropriate for incidents related to walking on ice, shoveling snow, or other non-sporting activities involving ice and snow.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the primary injury code.
• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies an activity involving ice or snow, but not one with a more specific Y93.2- code.
• Avoid using this code if the activity is explicitly covered by another Y93.2- subcategory (e.g., Y93.21 for skiing, Y93.22 for snowboarding).
