Drown while in bathtub, undetermined intent, init

This code signifies an incident where a patient has experienced a non-fatal drowning or submersion event specifically within a bathtub. The intent of this event (e.g., accidental, self-harm, assault) cannot be determined from the available documentation. This code is used for the initial medical encounter related to this specific injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents to an emergency department or clinic following a near-drowning or submersion in a bathtub, and the medical record explicitly states that the intent of the incident is undetermined. This is appropriate for the first time the patient is seen for this particular injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "bathtub" as the location and "undetermined intent."
• Do not use if the intent (e.g., accidental, intentional self-harm) is clearly documented.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for this specific injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
