X32: Exposure to sunlight
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
X32 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for exposure to sunlight. 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 code X32
- 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.
- man-made radiation (tanning bed) (W89)
Excludes2: not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
