2025 ICD-10-CM code V92.14XS

Drowning and submersion due to being thrown overboard by motion of sailboat, sequela.

This is a sequela code, meaning it is used to describe the late effects of an injury. It should never be used to describe the acute event of a near-drowning incident. For the acute event, codes from Chapter 19, Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88), would be more appropriate. This code should be used in conjunction with a code describing the nature of the sequela.

In simple words: This code indicates a long-term health problem that resulted from nearly drowning after being thrown off a moving sailboat.

This code describes a late effect or sequela resulting from a drowning or submersion incident where the individual was thrown overboard a sailboat due to the motion of the boat. A sequela is a residual condition or complication that occurs after the acute phase of an illness or injury.

Example 1: A patient was sailing when a sudden gust of wind caused the boat to lurch violently, throwing the patient overboard. They were submerged for a short period before being rescued, but experienced some lung complications afterward. Months later, they still suffer from breathing difficulties, a sequela of the near-drowning incident. The code V92.14XS would be used to document this ongoing condition., A child was playing on the deck of a sailboat when they lost their balance and fell overboard. The child was rescued quickly, but the event was traumatic and they developed a persistent fear of water. Years later, this fear remains a significant issue impacting their life, a sequela of the incident. V92.14XS is used to capture this long-term psychological effect., An individual was sailing when they were struck by the boom, knocking them unconscious and overboard. They were submerged for an extended period before being rescued. While initially recovering, they developed persistent neurological problems related to the extended period of oxygen deprivation, a sequela of the near-drowning. V92.14XS would be used to record this long-term health consequence.

Documentation should clearly indicate the delayed effect or sequela resulting from the near-drowning incident where the individual was thrown off of a sailboat, the nature of the sequela, and the relationship between the current condition and the past event. Any related diagnoses should also be documented.

** The 'XS' characters at the end of the code indicate that it is a sequela code. If there is no lasting health effect it shouldn't be used.
