About X08.19XA

X08.19XA is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for exposure to sofa fire due to other burning material, initial encounter. It belongs to category X08 (exposure to other specified smoke, fire and flames), block X00-X08 (exposure to smoke, fire and flames) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

The 7th character "A" means initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition.

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as E898.1 (accident caused by other burning materials).
