About X92

X92 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for assault by drowning and submersion. It belongs to block X92-Y09 (assault) 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.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: X92.0 (while in bathtub), X92.1 (while in swimming pool), X92.2 (after push into swimming pool), X92.3 (in natural water), X92.8 (submersion) and X92.9 (unspecified).

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