V91.3Hit or struck by falling object due to accident to watercraft

V91.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for hit or struck by falling object due to accident to watercraft. 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 10 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V91 (other injury due to accident to watercraft), V91.3 is specifically for hit or struck by falling object due to accident to watercraft. Related codes cover burn due to watercraft on fire (V91.0), crushed between watercraft and other watercraft or other object due to collision (V91.1), fall due to collision between watercraft and other watercraft or other object (V91.2) 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.

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of V91.3, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: drowning or submersion due to fall or jumping from damaged watercraft (V90.2-, 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.
