About T25.02

T25.02 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for burn of unspecified degree of foot. It belongs to category T25 (burn and corrosion of ankle and foot), 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 T25.0 (burn of unspecified degree of ankle and foot), T25.02 is specifically for burn of unspecified degree of foot. Related codes cover ankle (T25.01), toe(s) (nail) (T25.03) and multiple sites of ankle and foot (T25.09).

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.

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of T25.02, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: burn of unspecified degree of toe(s) (nail) (T25.03-).

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