T23.09Burn of unspecified degree of multiple sites of wrist and hand

T23.09 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for burn of unspecified degree of multiple sites of wrist and hand. It belongs to category T23 (burn and corrosion of wrist and hand), 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 T23.0 (burn of unspecified degree of wrist and hand), T23.09 is specifically for burn of unspecified degree of multiple sites of wrist and hand. Related codes cover hand, unspecified site (T23.00), thumb (nail) (T23.01), single finger (nail) except thumb (T23.02), multiple fingers (nail), not including thumb (T23.03), multiple fingers (nail), including thumb (T23.04), palm (T23.05), back of hand (T23.06) and wrist (T23.07).

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.
