About V93
V93 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other injury 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: V93.0 (watercraft), V93.1 (watercraft), V93.2 (watercraft), V93.3 (watercraft), V93.4 (watercraft), V93.5 (watercraft), V93.6 (watercraft) and V93.8 (watercraft).
Don't report V93 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: civilian water transport accident involving military watercraft (V94.81-), other injury due to accident to watercraft (V91.-) and military watercraft accident in military or war operations (Y36, Y37.-).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of V93, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: drowning and submersion due to accident on board watercraft, without accident to watercraft (V92.-).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
