About T28

T28 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for burn and corrosion of other internal organs. It belongs to block T26-T28 (burns and corrosions confined to eye and internal organs) 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 10 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: T28.0 (pharynx), T28.1 (esophagus), T28.2 (tract), T28.3 (organs), T28.4 (organs), T28.5 (pharynx), T28.6 (esophagus), T28.7 (tract) and 2 more.

Use an additional code for: external cause code to identify the source and intent of the burn (X00-X19, X75-X77, X96-X98) and external cause code to identify place (Y92).

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