W16.7Jumping or diving from boat

W16.7 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for jumping or diving from boat. It belongs to category W16 (fall, jump or diving into water), block W00-W19 (slipping, tripping, stumbling and falls) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within W16 (fall, jump or diving into water), W16.7 is specifically for jumping or diving from boat. Related codes cover fall into swimming pool (W16.0), fall into natural body of water (W16.1), fall in (into) filled bathtub or bucket of water (W16.2), fall into other water (W16.3), fall into unspecified water (W16.4), jumping or diving into swimming pool (W16.5), jumping or diving into natural body of water (W16.6), jumping or diving into other water (W16.8) and 1 more.
