In a recent article in coders edge, "Account for percentage and depth when coding burns", I 'm not clear on the lack of use for a fifth digit on code 948.1. I thought that 0-9% is a fifth digit of "0". I did not see any updates on the CMS web site and the code 948.1 calls for a fifth digit in the ICD 9 CM manual. Can anyone clairify this for me or is this a billing guideline over a "coding " guideline?
