Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.POA Exempt Code
The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires medical coders to indicate whether or not a condition was present at the time of admission, in order to properly assign MS-DRG codes. This "Present On Admission" (POA) indicator is recorded on CMS form 4010A.T24.409S is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of corrosion of unspecified degree of unspecified site of unspecified lower limb, except ankle and foot, sequela. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
POA Indicators on CMS form 4010A are as follows:
Indicator | Meaning | CMS Will Pay CC/MCC DRG Costs |
---|---|---|

N | Diagnosis was not present at time of inpatient admission | No |

The ICD code T24 is used to code Burn
A burn is a type of injury to skin , or other tissues, caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, friction, or radiation. Burns that affect only the superficial skin layers are known as superficial or first-degree burns. When the injury extends into some of the underlying layers, it is described as a partial-thickness or second-degree burn. In a full-thickness or third-degree burn, the injury extends to all layers of the skin. A fourth-degree burn additionally involves injury to deeper tissues, such as muscle, tendons, or bone.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code T24.409S and a single ICD9 code, 906.7 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
