How is V90.87 listed in the External Cause Index?

These are the routes through the External Cause of Injuries Index that lead to V90.87 — how the injury happened, rather than what the injury was.

  • Drowning › due to › accident › watercraft › specified type NEC › unpowered › water skis (accidental)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from V90

The conditions below can never be reported together with V90.87 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • civilian water transport accident involving military watercraft (V94.81-)
  • fall into water not from watercraft (W16.-)
  • military watercraft accident in military or war operations (Y36.0-, Y37.0-)
  • water-transport-related drowning or submersion without accident to watercraft (V92.-)
