The ICD-10-CM code X12.XXXA might also be used to specify conditions or terms like accident caused by hot liquid and vapor, including steam, burn by hot liquid, burning due to contact with geothermal hot water, burning due to contact with hot drinks, liquid foods, fats and cooking oils, burning due to contact with hot liquid , burning due to contact with hot liquids in industry, etc.
ICD-10-CM has categories to identify extent of body surface involved in burns (T31) and corrosions (T32). The guidelines should be carefully reviewed. These codes are useful in evaluating burn mortality and reporting severity of burns by extent and depth. The classic “rule of nines” is used to calculate the percent of burns.
Contact with fats and cooking oils 1 V00-Y99#N#2021 ICD-10-CM Range V00-Y99#N#External causes of morbidity#N#Note#N#This chapter permits the classification of environmental events and circumstances as the cause of injury, and other adverse effects. Where a code from this section is applicable, it is intended that it shall be used secondary to a code from another chapter of the Classification indicating the nature of the condition. Most often, the condition will be classifiable to Chapter 19, Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes ( S00-T88 ). Other conditions that may be stated to be due to external causes are classified in Chapters I to XVIII. For these conditions, codes from Chapter 20 should be used to provide additional information as to the cause of the condition.#N#External causes of morbidity 2 X10-X19#N#2021 ICD-10-CM Range X10-X19#N#Contact with heat and hot substances#N#Type 1 Excludes#N#exposure to excessive natural heat ( X30)#N#exposure to fire and flames ( X00-X08)#N#Contact with heat and hot substances
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM X10.2 became effective on October 1 , 2021.
X10.2 describes the circumstance causing an injury, not the nature of the injury.
The code X12.XXXA is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code X12.XXXA might also be used to specify conditions or terms like accident caused by hot liquid and vapor, including steam, burn by hot liquid, burning due to contact with geothermal hot water, burning due to contact with hot drinks, liquid foods, fats and cooking oils, burning due to contact with hot liquid , burning due to contact with hot liquids in industry, etc.#N#X12.XXXA is an initial encounter code, includes a 7th character and should be used while the patient is receiving active treatment for a condition like contact with other hot fluids. According to ICD-10-CM Guidelines an "initial encounter" doesn't necessarily means "initial visit". The 7th character should be used when the patient is undergoing active treatment regardless if new or different providers saw the patient over the course of a treatment. The appropriate 7th character codes should also be used even if the patient delayed seeking treatment for a condition.
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code X12.XXXA its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

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 descriptions of codes in the T20-T28 range are first defined by an anatomical location of the body affected by burn or corrosion.
The rule of nines, for adult patients, assigns 1% of TBSA to the genitalia, and multiples of 9% to other body areas (9% head, 9% per arm, 18% per leg, etc.).
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.
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.
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.
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 coding is challenging and requires you to consider multiple factors. Proper coding and documentation require an understanding of the types of burns, estimating burn extent based on age, and being familiar with how this estimation varies when coding for ICD-10-CM or CPT®.#N#Approximately every minute, someone in the United States sustains a burn injury serious enough to require treatment. 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. This statistic does not account for burn injuries treated in hospital clinics, private medical offices, or community health centers. The likelihood for a medical coder to code a burn case is extremely high. Here’s what you need to know.
To code burn cases correctly, specify the site, severity, extent, and external cause. You need at least three codes to properly report burn diagnoses: First-listed code (s): Site and severity (from categories T20-T25) Your first-listed code will be a combination code that reports both the site and severity of the injury.
Corrosions are chemical burns due to contact with internal or external body parts caused by strong acids such as bleach and battery fluid, or strong bases (alkalis) such as ammonia, detergents, or solvents. Burns are defined by how deep they are and how large an area they cover.
Total body surface area (TBSA) involved is reported using a code from T31 for a burn or T32 for corrosion, based on the classic “rule of nines,” as shown in Figure 2.
Burns are defined by how deep they are and how large an area they cover. A large burn injury is likely to include burned areas of different depths. Deep burns heal more slowly, are more difficult to treat, and are prone to complications such as infections and scarring.
Code descriptions in the T20-T28 range first define a general part or section of the human body.
The fourth character for each category identifies the severity (except categories T26-T28). Using the layers of the skin, the severity of a burn is identified by degree.
With ICD-10 Coding for Burns you will follow a coding pattern. The first code (s) listed is for site and severity, which is categories T20-T28 which would define anatomical location of the body affected by burn or corrosion. The fourth character for each category identifies the severity, except categories T26-T28. The fifth character of the code reports even more details regarding the anatomical site of the burn and the sixth character reports laterality.
A burn is tissue with partial or complete destruction of the skin caused by heat, sunlight, nuclear radiation, electricity, or chemicals. Every minute in the US someone sustains a burn injury that requires professional treatment. The American Burn Association estimates 486,000 hospitals admissions and visits to hospital emergency departments occur annually for burn evaluation and treatment in the US.
They are also appropriate for use with external cause codes for cause and intent if identifying the activity provides additional information on the event. These codes should be used in conjunction with codes for external cause status ( Y99) and place of occurrence ( Y92 ).
A “code also” note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction. The sequencing depends on the circumstances of the encounter.
Y93.G3 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Activity, cooking and baking . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
A type 2 Excludes note represents 'Not included here'. An Excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together.
NEC Not elsewhere classifiable#N#This abbreviation in the Tabular List represents “other specified”. When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Tabular List includes an NEC entry under a code to identify the code as the “other specified” code.
A type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes. It means 'NOT CODED HERE!' An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
Y93.G3 is exempt from POA reporting ( Present On Admission).
Y93.G3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of activity, cooking and baking. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires medical coders to indicate whether or not a condition was present at the time of admission, in order to properly assign MS-DRG codes.
