About X71.3XXD
X71.3XXD is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intentional self-harm by drowning and submersion in natural water, subsequent encounter. 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
The 7th character "D" means subsequent encounter: use it for encounters after active treatment, while the patient is healing or recovering.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as E954 (suicide and self-inflicted injury by submersion [drowning]).
