Excludes1 inherited from the categories above V92.03XS

These are not written on V92.03XS, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing V92.03XS with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on V92 — Drowning and submersion due to accident on board watercraft, without accident to watercraft

civilian water transport accident involving military watercraft (V94.81-)
drowning or submersion due to accident to watercraft (V90-V91)

fall into water without watercraft (W16.-)
military watercraft accident in military or war operations (Y36, Y37)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above V92.03XS

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of V92.03XS, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on V92.0 — Drowning and submersion due to fall off watercraft

hitting head on object or bottom of body of water due to fall from watercraft (V94.0-)

Other codes that can never be billed with V92.03XS

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V92.03XS. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V92.03XS alone.

V90Drowning and submersion due to accident to watercraft

Risk adjustment

V92.03XS 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

V92.03XS has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
