About coding electric current

The ICD-10-CM code for electric current is T75.4 (Electrocution).

Within T75 (other and unspecified effects of other external causes), T75.4 is specifically for electrocution. Related codes cover effects of lightning (T75.0), unspecified effects of drowning and nonfatal submersion (T75.1), effects of vibration (T75.2), motion sickness (T75.3) and other specified effects of external causes (T75.8).

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.
