2025 ICD-10-CM code T75.4XXS

Sequela of electrocution.

Follow general ICD-10-CM coding guidelines. Use additional codes to specify the nature of the sequela, the body part affected, and the cause of the electrocution.Refer to the official ICD-10-CM guidelines for detailed instructions.

The medical necessity for coding T75.4XXS is established by the presence of documented long-term effects or complications directly attributable to a prior electrocution. This would involve evidence supporting a causal link between the past event and the current condition. This could include findings from physical examinations, lab results, imaging studies, or other objective indicators.Payer-specific guidelines should be consulted for specific requirements.

The clinical responsibility depends on the specific sequelae.Physicians specializing in neurology, orthopedics, dermatology, or other specialties might be involved depending on the nature of the long-term effects of the electrocution.

IMPORTANT:Additional codes may be necessary to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., neurological damage, burns).A secondary code from Chapter 20 (External causes of morbidity) should be used to indicate the cause of the electrocution injury, unless the external cause is already included within the T-section code.

In simple words: This code describes health problems that happen a long time after someone has been electrocuted (received an electric shock).These could be things like nerve damage, scars, or other issues caused by the earlier shock.

This code signifies the late effects or sequelae that occur after an electrocution injury.It is used to classify long-term consequences, such as neurological damage, scarring, or other complications resulting from a prior electrical shock.This code should be used only when the electrocution event is in the past and the patient is experiencing the aftereffects.

Example 1: A patient presents with persistent numbness and tingling in their extremities several months after sustaining an electrocution injury.T75.4XXS would be used to code the long-term neurological sequelae., A patient has significant scarring on their skin due to burns sustained during an electrocution event that occurred in the past. T75.4XXS would be used to code the long-term scar tissue as a sequela, along with codes specifying the burn injury location and degree., A patient experiences persistent muscle weakness and fatigue years after an electrocution accident.T75.4XXS would be used to code the ongoing muscle problems as a sequela, potentially alongside codes specifying the specific muscle groups affected.

Detailed medical history documenting the electrocution event, including date, time, and circumstances.Comprehensive documentation of the sequelae, including physical examination findings, diagnostic test results (e.g., nerve conduction studies, imaging reports), and any ongoing treatment.Any documentation related to the patient's functional limitations and quality of life should be included.

** This code is for sequelae, meaning the long-term consequences of a past event.It should not be used for the acute phase of electrocution.The information provided here is for general guidance and does not replace the need to consult official coding guidelines and payer-specific rules.
