X00.2: Injury due to collapse of burning building or structure in uncontrolled fire

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

X00.2 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for injury due to collapse of burning building or structure in uncontrolled fire. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.

This code requires a 7th character

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category X00

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.

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above X00.2

Not part of this code, but both may be coded when both are present.
