About X08.0
X08.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for exposure to bed fire. It belongs to category X08 (exposure to other specified smoke, fire and flames), block X00-X08 (exposure to smoke, fire and flames) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.
Within X08 (exposure to other specified smoke, fire and flames), X08.0 is specifically for exposure to bed fire. Related codes cover sofa fire (X08.1), other furniture fire (X08.2) and other specified smoke, fire and flames (X08.8).
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.
