Intentional self-harm by drown while in bathtub, init

This code signifies an initial encounter where an individual has intentionally attempted to end their life by drowning or submersion, specifically occurring within a bathtub. It indicates a deliberate act of self-harm with the intent to cause death, utilizing a bathtub as the means.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a patient presented due to a suicide attempt by drowning or submersion, and the incident took place in a bathtub. This is appropriate for the initial medical evaluation and treatment following such an event.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "intentional self-harm" or "suicide attempt" to support the use of this code.
• Verify the location of the incident is specifically a "bathtub" as other locations for drowning have different codes.
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for the treatment of this specific injury; subsequent encounters would use a different seventh character.
