V91.1 — Crushed between watercraft and other watercraft or other object due to collision
V91.1 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for crushed between watercraft and other watercraft or other object due to collision. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.

Other codes that can never be billed with V91.1
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V91.1. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V91.1 alone.
- V91.2Fall due to collision between watercraft and other watercraft or other object
Risk adjustment
V91.1 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.
