About V93.0
V93.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for burn due to localized fire on board watercraft. It belongs to category V93 (other injury 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 6 subcodes must be used instead.
Within V93 (other injury due to accident on board watercraft, without accident to watercraft), V93.0 is specifically for burn due to localized fire on board watercraft. Related codes cover other burn on board watercraft (V93.1), heat exposure on board watercraft (V93.2), fall on board watercraft (V93.3), struck by falling object on board watercraft (V93.4), explosion on board watercraft (V93.5), machinery accident on board watercraft (V93.6) and other injury due to other accident on board watercraft (V93.8).
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 V93.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: burn due to watercraft on fire (V91.0-).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
