In simple words: This code describes the long-term effects of nearly drowning after jumping or diving from a boat and hitting the water's surface.

This code describes a late effect or sequela resulting from a drowning and submersion incident where the individual jumped or dived from a boat and struck the water surface.

Example 1: A patient presents with persistent respiratory issues and neurological deficits, a year after jumping from a boat, hitting the water, and nearly drowning., A patient experiences chronic fatigue and cognitive impairment as a long-term consequence of a near-drowning incident that occurred several months prior, after striking the water surface while diving from a boat., A child, who nearly drowned a few years ago after jumping off a boat, experiences long-term effects such as memory loss and difficulty concentrating. These are considered sequelae of the near-drowning incident.

Documentation should support the cause-and-effect relationship between the initial near-drowning incident (jumping/diving from a boat and striking water surface) and the current condition being treated. This could include the initial medical records from the near-drowning event, subsequent evaluations detailing the sequelae, and any ongoing treatment records. Any diagnostic tests that support the diagnosis of the sequelae should also be included.

** This code captures the late effects of the near-drowning incident, not the acute event itself.The code describes striking the *surface* of the water which differs from other codes capturing the impact of striking the bottom of the water body. It is crucial to have accurate documentation supporting the long-term effects and their link to the initial near-drowning event.
