About X71.1
X71.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intentional self-harm by drowning and submersion while in swimming pool. It belongs to category X71 (intentional self-harm by drowning and submersion), block X71-X83 (intentional self-harm) 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 X71 (intentional self-harm by drowning and submersion), X71.1 is specifically for intentional self-harm by drowning and submersion while in swimming pool. Related codes cover while in bathtub (X71.0), after jump into swimming pool (X71.2), in natural water (X71.3), other intentional self-harm by drowning and submersion (X71.8) and unspecified (X71.9).
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.
