About V94.0XXD
V94.0XXD is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Hitting object or bottom of body of water due to fall from watercraft, subsequent encounter. It belongs to category V94 (other and unspecified water transport accidents), block V90-V94 (water transport accidents) 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 E838.9 (other and unspecified water transport accident injuring unspecified person).
