A three-year-old is brought to the burn unit after pulling a pot of hot soup off the stove spilling onto to her body. She sustained 18% second degree burns on her legs and 20% third degree burns on her chest and arms. Total body surface area burned is 38%. What ICD-10-CM codes should be reported for the burns (do not include External Cause codes for the accident)? Selected Answer: T21.31XA, T22.30XA, T24.209A, T31.32 Correct Answer: T21.31XA, T22.30XA, T24.209A, T31.32 Response Feedback: ICD-10-CM Coding states to sequence first the code that reflects the highest degree of burn when more than one burn is present. In this case, the burns on her chest and arms are third degree and should be reported first. In the Index to Diseases, look for Burn/chest wall (anterior)/third degree referring you to code T22.30XA; Burn/arm(s)/ third degree guiding you to code T22.30XA; Burn/legs/second degree guiding you to code T24.209A. Refer to ICD-10-CM for instructions on assigning a code from category T31.
