T32.80
BillableCorrosions involving 80-89% 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).
What This Code Means
A severe chemical burn affecting 80-89% of the body surface, with minimal deep burns (third degree) covering only 0-9% of the affected area. This is a massive injury affecting most of the body with predominantly superficial to mid-depth burns.
Coding Tips
- •Even with lower third-degree percentages, the extensive total body surface involvement makes this a critical emergency
- •Ensure seventh character is used to indicate whether this is initial treatment, subsequent care, or sequela
