Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

  • Fall on board Ferry-boat
  • Fall on board Liner

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above V93.31XD

These are not written on V93.31XD, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing V93.31XD with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on V93.3 Fall on board watercraft

  • fall due to collision of watercraft (V91.2-)

Written on V93 Other injury due to accident on board watercraft, without accident to watercraft

  • civilian water transport accident involving military watercraft (V94.81-)
  • other injury due to accident to watercraft (V91.-)
  • military watercraft accident in military or war operations (Y36, Y37.-)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above V93.31XD

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of V93.31XD, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on V93 Other injury due to accident on board watercraft, without accident to watercraft

  • drowning and submersion due to accident on board watercraft, without accident to watercraft (V92.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with V93.31XD

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V93.31XD. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V93.31XD alone.

  • V91.0Burn due to watercraft on fire

Risk adjustment

V93.31XD 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

V93.31XD has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
