About X15.3XXS

X15.3XXS is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for contact with hot saucepan or skillet, sequela. It belongs to category X15 (contact with hot household appliances), block X10-X19 (contact with heat and hot substances) 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 "S" means sequela: use it for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of the original 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 E929.8 (late effects of other accidents).
