Wiki Help please!

[arrana]

I have a provider looking for a diagnosis code, and I need some help please.

We have a toddler who went down the big kids' slide into the pool. The child does not swim. Mom was there and pulled the kid out immediately. She took a breath and started crying. Mom brought the child in for precaution, there was nothing wrong.

I can find E codes, but need diagnosis codes... any suggestions?

Thanks.

Maybe: a non fatal submersion ???

2012 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 994.1
Drowning and nonfatal submersion
Short description: Drowning/nonfatal submer.

I will run that by the provider and see if she agrees. Thanks so much Marcus!!
