Wiki Diagnosis Code for Exposure to Hot Liquid

[elizabeth24]

A child presents to the ER after she spilled hot coffee on her chest that left a rash, however there was no rash, burn or damage to the skin once the patient presented to the ER. So the final diagnosis for the chart is exposure to hot liquid.

I have looked for quite a while and can't seem to find anything. Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks

You need a z04 code for suspected injury ruled out and then the external cause code for the burned by hot liquid.
