About X97.XXXD
X97.XXXD is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for assault by smoke, fire and flames, subsequent encounter. It belongs to category X97 (assault by smoke, fire and flames), block X92-Y09 (assault) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
The 7th character "D" means subsequent encounter: use it for encounters after active treatment, while the patient is healing or recovering.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as E968.0 (assault by fire).
