About coding toe burn
The ICD-10-CM code for toe burn is T25.039 (Burn of unspecified degree of unspecified toe(s) (nail)). The official index lists 11 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on T25.039.
Within T25.03, choose T25.039 (unspecified toe(s) (nail)) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: right toe(s) (nail) (T25.031) and left toe(s) (nail) (T25.032).
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.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
