About T21.06

T21.06 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for burn of unspecified degree of male genital region. It belongs to category T21 (burn and corrosion of trunk), block T20-T25 (burns and corrosions of external body surface, specified by site) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T21.0 (burn of unspecified degree of trunk), T21.06 is specifically for burn of unspecified degree of male genital region. Related codes cover unspecified site (T21.00), chest wall (T21.01), abdominal wall (T21.02), upper back (T21.03), lower back (T21.04), buttock (T21.05), female genital region (T21.07) and other site of trunk (T21.09).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
