CPT Code 16000 is for initial treatment of first-degree burns only, whereas CPT Code 16020, CPT Code 16025 and CPT Code 16030 are for initial and subsequent visits for treatment of second- and third-degree burns.
When coding these cases:Assign a separate code for each location with a burn.If a patient has multiple burns on the same anatomical site, select the code that reflects the most severe burn for that location.Sequence the codes in order of severity, with the most severe burn listed first.

Coders, should sequence the burn code for the highest degree of burn first when coding multiple burns. If a patient has a third degree burn of the palm of the left hand and a second degree burn on the right forearm, the recommended codes for this patient's multiple burns are T23. 352- and T22.

Z codes are for use in any healthcare setting. Z codes may be used as either a first-listed (principal diagnosis code in the inpatient setting) or secondary code, depending on the circumstances of the encounter.
xx code after the initial encounter for the burn. burns are coded using acute burn codes until they are healed, once healed they will be coded with V codes for follow up.

If the signs and symptoms are associated routinely with a disease process, do not assign codes for them unless otherwise instructed by the classification. 3. If the signs and symptoms are not associated routinely with a disease process, go ahead and assign codes for them.
first-degree burns damage only the outer layer of skin. second-degree burns damage the outer layer and the layer underneath. third-degree burns damage or destroy the deepest layer of skin and tissues underneath. burns can cause swelling, blistering, scarring and, in serious cases, shock and even death.
Injury to tissues caused by contact with dry heat, moist heat, flames, chemicals, electricity, friction or radiant and electromagnetic energy. A first degree burn is associated with redness, a second degree burn with vesication and a third degree burn with necrosis through the entire skin.
Generic burn injury, including that due to excessive heat, as well as cauterization, friction, electricity, radiation, sunlight, and other causes. Injuries to tissues caused by contact with heat, steam, chemicals (burns, chemical), electricity (burns, electric), or the like.
A finding of impaired integrity to the anatomic site of an adverse thermal reaction. Burns can be caused by exposure to chemicals, direct heat, electricity, flames and radiation. The extent of damage depends on the length and intensity of exposure and time until provision of treatment.
Scalds from hot liquids and steam, building fires and flammable liquids and gases are the most common causes of burns. Another kind is an inhalation injury, caused by breathing smoke.there are three types of burns: first-degree burns damage only the outer layer of skin.

A burn is a type of injury to skin , or other tissues, caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, friction, or radiation. Burns that affect only the superficial skin layers are known as superficial or first-degree burns. When the injury extends into some of the underlying layers, it is described as a partial-thickness or second-degree burn.
Use Additional Code note means a second code must be used in conjunction with this code. Codes with this note are Etiology codes and must be followed by a Manifestation code or codes.
Second-degree burns indicate blistering with damage extending beyond the epidermis partially into the layer beneath it (dermis) Third-degree burns indicate full-thickness tissue loss with damage or complete destruction of both layers of skin (including hair follicles, oil glands, & sweat glands)
Burn Types. A burn is tissue damage with partial or complete destruction of the skin caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, sunlight, or nuclear radiation. Proper selection of burn codes requires consideration of the location of the burn, severity, extent, and external cause in addition to laterality and encounter.
ICD-10 makes a distinction between burns and corrosions: Burn codes apply to thermal burns (except sunburns) that come from a heat source, such as fire, hot appliance, electricity, and radiation. Corrosions are burns due to chemicals.
The required fourth character identifies the percentage of the patient’s entire body affected by burns. The fifth character identifies the percentage of the patient’s body that is suffering from third-degree burns or corrosions only.
According to the American Burn Association, an estimated 486,000 hospital admissions and visits to hospital emergency departments occur annually for burn evaluation and treatment in the United States.
The fifth character reports additional details regarding the anatomical site of the burn.
The descriptions of codes in the T20-T28 range are first defined by an anatomical location of the body affected by burn or corrosion.
