Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to V93.8.
- Accidental poisoning by gases or fumes on watercraft
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from V93
The conditions below can never be reported together with V93.8 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from V93
The conditions below are not part of V93.8, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, V93.8 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- drowning and submersion due to accident on board watercraft, without accident to watercraft (V92.-)
