About V91.2
V91.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fall due to collision between watercraft and other watercraft or other object. 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.
Within V91, choose V91.2 (Fall due to collision between watercraft and other watercraft or other object) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: burn due to watercraft on fire (V91.0), crushed between watercraft and other watercraft or other object due to collision (V91.1), hit or struck by falling object due to accident to watercraft (V91.3) and other injury due to other accident to watercraft (V91.8).
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.
Don't report V91.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: crushed between watercraft and other watercraft and other object due to collision (V91.1-) and drowning and submersion due to falling from crushed watercraft (V90.3-).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
