X77.2Intentional self-harm by other hot fluids

X77.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intentional self-harm by other hot fluids. It belongs to category X77 (intentional self-harm by steam, hot vapors and hot objects), block X71-X83 (intentional self-harm) 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 X77, choose X77.2 (other hot fluids) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: steam or hot vapors (X77.0), hot tap water (X77.1), hot household appliances (X77.3), other hot objects (X77.8) and unspecified hot objects (X77.9).

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.
