ICD-10 code for Flame inhalation

The ICD-10-CM code for Flame inhalation is T27.3 (Burn of respiratory tract, part unspecified).

Within T27, choose T27.3 (Burn of respiratory tract, part unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: burn of larynx and trachea (T27.0), burn involving larynx and trachea with lung (T27.1), burn of other parts of respiratory tract (T27.2), corrosion of larynx and trachea (T27.4), corrosion involving larynx and trachea with lung (T27.5), corrosion of other parts of respiratory tract (T27.6) and corrosion of respiratory tract, part unspecified (T27.7).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

Use an additional code for: external cause code to identify the source and intent of the burn (X00-X19, X75-X77, X96-X98) and external cause code to identify place (Y92).
