ICD-10-CM Code T30.4
Corrosion of unspecified body region, unspecified degree

BILLABLE
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

T30.4 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of corrosion of unspecified body region, unspecified degree. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code T30 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.

Burn of unspecified site, unspecified degree (approximate match)

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 T30.4 and a single ICD9 code, 949.0 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
