2025 ICD-10-CM code T28.0

Burn of the mouth and pharynx.

The clinical responsibility for this code involves evaluation and treatment of the burn injury by a physician or other qualified healthcare professional. This includes assessment of the burn's depth and extent, pain management, wound care (including debridement, dressings, and potential grafting), and monitoring for complications such as infection or airway obstruction.In severe cases, hospitalization and specialized care may be required.

IMPORTANT:Additional codes may be necessary to specify the cause of the burn (Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity),the presence of a retained foreign body (Z18.-), and the encounter type (seventh character A, D, or S for initial encounter, subsequent encounter, or sequela, respectively).

In simple words: This code describes a burn in your mouth and throat.This could be from something hot like fire, a hot liquid, or a chemical. The burn could be mild, like redness, or more serious, with blisters or open sores.A doctor will determine the severity.

This code classifies a burn injury affecting the mouth and pharynx.The injury may be caused by thermal sources (e.g., flames, hot liquids, hot objects), electrical sources, or chemical agents (corrosives). The severity can range from superficial redness and swelling to deep tissue damage with blisters, ulceration, and potential for scarring and functional impairment.This code is used for both initial encounters and subsequent encounters, specifying the encounter type with a seventh character (A, D, or S).

Example 1: A patient presents to the emergency department with a scald burn to their mouth and throat after accidentally spilling hot coffee., A child is admitted to the hospital with severe burns to the mouth and pharynx after ingesting a corrosive cleaning solution., A patient is seen in the outpatient clinic for follow-up care for a burn to the mouth and pharynx sustained in a house fire. Scar tissue formation and potential speech impairment requiring only one code is not applicable to the provided dataset.However, if you provide the complete dataset, I can provide a more accurate description.The information from the provided sources does not meet the standards required for an XML response, so it cannot be provided at this time.
