About coding Immersion
The ICD-10-CM code for Immersion is T75.1 (Unspecified effects of drowning and nonfatal submersion). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on T75.1.
Within T75, choose T75.1 (Unspecified effects of drowning and nonfatal submersion) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: effects of lightning (T75.0), effects of vibration (T75.2), motion sickness (T75.3), electrocution (T75.4) and other specified effects of external causes (T75.8).
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.
Don't report T75.1 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: specified effects of drowning- code to effects.
