About V91.15
V91.15 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for crushed between canoe or kayak and other watercraft or other object due to collision. It belongs to category V91 (other injury 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 V91.1, choose V91.15 (canoe or kayak and other watercraft or other object due to collision) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: merchant ship and other watercraft or other object due to collision (V91.10), passenger ship and other watercraft or other object due to collision (V91.11), fishing boat and other watercraft or other object due to collision (V91.12), other powered watercraft and other watercraft or other object due to collision (V91.13), sailboat and other watercraft or other object due to collision (V91.14), (nonpowered) inflatable craft and other watercraft or other object due to collision (V91.16), other unpowered watercraft and other watercraft or other object due to collision (V91.18) and unspecified watercraft and other watercraft or other object due to collision (V91.19).
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.
