About X92.3

X92.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for assault by drowning and submersion in natural water. It belongs to category X92 (assault by drowning and submersion), 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within X92 (assault by drowning and submersion), X92.3 is specifically for assault by drowning and submersion in natural water. Related codes cover while in bathtub (X92.0), while in swimming pool (X92.1), after push into swimming pool (X92.2), other assault by drowning and submersion (X92.8) and unspecified (X92.9).

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.

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