T67.3XXA — Heat exhaustion, anhydrotic, initial encounter
T67.3XXA is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for heat exhaustion, anhydrotic, initial encounter. It is valid for submission on a claim.
7th character "A" — initial encounter
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T67
- A
- initial encounter
- D
- subsequent encounter
- S
- sequela
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- heat exhaustion due to salt depletion (T67.4)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Heat prostration due to water depletion
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above T67.3XXA
These are not written on T67.3XXA, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing T67.3XXA with anything listed here is a denial.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above T67.3XXA
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of T67.3XXA, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Other codes that can never be billed with T67.3XXA
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at T67.3XXA. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading T67.3XXA alone.
- R53.8Other malaise and fatigue
Risk adjustment
T67.3XXA does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Medicare coverage
T67.3XXA is named in 2 Medicare coverage policies — 2 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
