Chemical burns

A Chemical burn happens when tissue is exposed to a corrosive substance.

If there is one chemical burn, consider if there are others you can code:

Chemical burn codes:
Esophagus, chemical burn Eye, burn or chemical burn Gastrointestinal (GI) tract, chemical burn Internal organ NOS, chemical burn Respiratory tract, chemical burn Skin, chemical burn, 1st degree Skin, chemical burn, 2nd degree Skin, chemical burn, 3rd degree Skin, chemical burn, degree unspecified

Also, consider if there are any poisonings to code with the chemical burn:

Poisoning codes:
Acetaminophen (tylenol, paracematol), overdose/toxicity Acid or alkali (not specified which) or other corrosive substance, poisoning Acid, poisoning Alcohol (ethanol), poisoning Alkali, poisoning Anesthetic gas, overdose/toxicity Antibiotic/antimicrobial, overdose/toxicity Anticoagulant, overdose/toxicity Antidepressant drug NOS, overdose/toxicity Antiseizure drug NOS, overdose/toxicity Aspirin or other salicylate or NSAID, overdose/toxicity Benzodiazepine, overdose/toxicity Beta-blocker, adverse effect Beta-blocker, overdose/toxicity Calcium channel blocker, overdose/toxicity Carbon monoxide, poisoning Cardiac/cardiovascular drug NOS, overdose/toxicity Chemical gases or fumes or vapors NOS, poisoning Cocaine, acute intoxication Cocaine, overdose/toxicity Cyanide, poisoning Drug or biological substance/agent NOS, overdose/toxicity Food, poisoning Hallucinogen, adverse effect Hallucinogen, overdose/toxicity Hormone or hormone agonist NOS, overdose/toxicity Insulin or other antidiabetes drug, overdose/toxicity Metal or their compounds or inorganic substances NOS, poisoning Opioid/narcotic, acute intoxication Opioid/narcotic, overdose/toxicity Pesticides, poisoning Psychiatric drug NOS, overdose/toxicity Psychoactive substance NOS, acute intoxication Solvent (organic, inhaled or ingested), poisoning Stimulants incl methamphetamine, acute intoxication Stimulants incl. methamphetamine, poisoning Substances NOS, poisoning Toxic alcohols, poisoning Tricyclic antidepressant, overdose/toxicity Venomous animals, poisoning
