Burn, body region unspecified (T30)
Official text from the FY2027 ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting. The wording is quoted exactly.
Guidelines I.C.19.d.5
“Category T30, Burn and corrosion, body region unspecified is extremely vague and should rarely be used.”
“Codes for burns of "multiple sites" should only be assigned when the medical record documentation does not specify the individual sites.”
Where this applies
The Guidelines are the authority for assigning codes, and following them is required under HIPAA. This page quotes them for convenience and is not a substitute for the official document. See the Terms and Disclaimer.
