V92.0Drowning and submersion due to fall off watercraft

V92.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for drowning and submersion due to fall off watercraft. It belongs to category V92 (drowning and submersion due to accident on board watercraft, without 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 V92 (drowning and submersion due to accident on board watercraft, without accident to watercraft), V92.0 is specifically for drowning and submersion due to fall off watercraft. Related codes cover being thrown overboard by motion of watercraft (V92.1) and being washed overboard from watercraft (V92.2).

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 V92.0, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: hitting head on object or bottom of body of water due to fall from watercraft (V94.0-).

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