About V92
V92 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for drowning and submersion due to accident on board watercraft, without accident to watercraft. It belongs to 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.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: V92.0 (watercraft), V92.1 (watercraft) and V92.2 (watercraft).
Don't report V92 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: civilian water transport accident involving military watercraft (V94.81-), drowning or submersion due to accident to watercraft (V90-V91), drowning or submersion of diver who voluntarily jumps from boat not involved in an accident (W16.711, W16.721), fall into water without watercraft (W16.-) and 1 more.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
