V90.08Drowning and submersion due to other unpowered watercraft overturning

V90.08 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for drowning and submersion due to other unpowered watercraft overturning. It belongs to category V90 (drowning and submersion due to accident to watercraft), block V90-V94 (water transport accidents) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V90.0, choose V90.08 (other unpowered watercraft overturning) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: merchant ship overturning (V90.00), passenger ship overturning (V90.01), fishing boat overturning (V90.02), other powered watercraft overturning (V90.03), sailboat overturning (V90.04), canoe or kayak overturning (V90.05), (nonpowered) inflatable craft overturning (V90.06) and unspecified watercraft overturning (V90.09).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
