V94.0Hitting object or bottom of body of water due to fall from watercraft

V94.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Hitting object or bottom of body of water due to fall from watercraft. It belongs to category V94 (other and unspecified water transport accidents), 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.

Within V94 (other and unspecified water transport accidents), V94.0 is specifically for Hitting object or bottom of body of water due to fall from watercraft. Related codes cover Bather struck by watercraft (V94.1), rider of nonpowered watercraft struck by other watercraft (V94.2), injury to rider of (inflatable) watercraft being pulled behind other watercraft (V94.3), injury to barefoot water-skier (V94.4), other water transport accident (V94.8) and unspecified water transport accident (V94.9).

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 V94.0, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: drowning and submersion due to fall from watercraft (V92.0-).

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