I have a patient that has a burn from an IV infiltration where they were receiving potassium. I need to assign T80.1XXS and T25.321S have been assigned already but the claim is being denied due to the dx. I don't know if I need to assign another dx code since T codes aren't favored as primary dx. Thanks!!!

Burn from IV Filtration

From what I have read, you code based on the following guidelines.

First-listed code(s): S/S for site and severity (from categories T20-T25)
Next listed code: E for extent (from code category T31)
Lastly, code(s): E for external cause code(s)

Hope that Helps!
