Written on V90 Drowning and submersion due to accident to watercraft

  • civilian water transport accident involving military watercraft (V94.81-)
  • fall into water not from watercraft (W16.-)

Risk adjustment

V90.32XA does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code history

V90.32XA has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
