Both ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM guidelines address coding burns classified according to the extent of body surface involved. In ICD-9-CM, the codes under 948 Burns classified according to extent of body surface involved are used. In ICD-10-CM, the codes under T31 Burns classified according to extent of body surface involved or T32 Corrosions classified according to extent of body surface involved are used.
Report these codes when the provider doesn’t specify the site of the patient’s burns in the medical record, or when there is a need for additional data. Burn units often accumulate this data to evaluate burn mortality. The guidelines also suggest using these codes when there is mention in the documentation of a third-degree burn involving 20 percent or more of the body surface area.
In ICD-9-CM, the fourth digit identifies the percentage of total body surface with all degrees of burns. The fifth digit identifies the percentage of the patient’s body surface with third-degree burns. Although a table of fifth digit options is not provided in ICD-10-CM, the codes follow the same general pattern as ICD-9-CM.
Example: A patient has burns on 75 percent of his body surface. Approximately 1/3 (33 percent) of his body surface has third-degree burns.
Many patients suffer from burns in multiple anatomical locations. When coding these cases:
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 descriptions of codes in the T20-T28 range are first defined by an anatomical location of the body affected by burn or corrosion.
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 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.
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.
code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable ( Z18.-) A burn is damage to your body's tissues caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, sunlight or radiation. Scalds from hot liquids and steam, building fires and flammable liquids and gases are the most common causes of burns.
