X10-X19 — Contact with heat and hot substances
ICD-10-CM codes X10-X19 cover contact with heat and hot substances, within external causes of morbidity. The block holds 85 codes across 10 categories, of which 60 are billable and 25 are header codes that cannot be submitted on a claim. 85 of them (100%) require a 7th character.
The 7th character in X10-X19

- A
- initial encounter
- D
