Corrosions involving 20-29% of body surface with 0% to 9% third degree corrosion

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

  • •This represents a more significant burn requiring careful monitoring for fluid loss and infection
  • •Document the causative agent (acid, alkali, etc.) with an additional code for specificity
