Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of V92.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, V92.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- hitting head on object or bottom of body of water due to fall from watercraft (V94.0-)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to V92.0.
- Drowning and submersion due to fall from gangplank of watercraft
- Drowning and submersion due to fall overboard watercraft
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from V92
The conditions below can never be reported together with V92.0 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-)
- drowning or submersion due to accident to watercraft (V90-V91)
- drowning or submersion of diver who voluntarily jumps from boat not involved in an accident (W16.711, W16.721)
- fall into water without watercraft (W16.-)
- military watercraft accident in military or war operations (Y36, Y37)
