BurnsFirst-degree burns affect only the outer layer of the skin. They cause pain, redness, and swelling.Second-degree burns affect both the outer and underlying layer of skin. They cause pain, redness, swelling, and blistering. ... Third-degree burns affect the deep layers of skin.
First-degree (superficial) burns. First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin, the epidermis. The burn site is red, painful, dry, and has no blisters. Mild sunburn is an example. Long-term tissue damage is rare and often consists of an increase or decrease in the skin color.
You must sequence your codes as 942.33 (3rd degree burn of the abdomen), 943.21 (2nd degree burn of the forearm), 944.11(1st degree burn of the index finger). Note: You should only code for the highest level burn when you assign multiple burns of differing degrees (severity) in the same body area.
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.
Sequence first the code that reflects the highest degree of burn when more than one burn is present . When the reason for the admission or encounter is for the treatment of external multiple burns, sequence first the code that reflects the burn of the highest degree.

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.
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.
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.
A burn is tissue damage with partial or complete destruction of the skin caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, sunlight, or nuclear radiation. Scalds from hot liquids and steam, building fires, and flammable liquids and gases are the most common causes of burns.
There are six degrees of burns (see Figure 1 for corresponding skin depth): First-degree burns damage the outer layer (epidermis) of the skin. These burns are usually dry, red (erythematous), and painful and usually heal on their own within a week. A common example is a sunburn. Second-degree burns indicate blistering with damage extending ...
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.
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.
