Burn due to localized fire on board sailboat, init encntr

This code signifies a thermal injury sustained from a localized fire occurring on a sailboat. The burn is the direct result of flames or intense heat from a confined fire source, rather than a general vessel fire or explosion. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents for the first time with a burn injury caused by a small, contained fire (e.g., galley stove fire, engine compartment fire) on a sailboat. This would include scenarios such as a patient burning their hand on a flare or a small electrical fire on board.

• Always assign a secondary code for the specific burn site and degree.
• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a "localized fire" on a "sailboat" to support this code.
• Use a subsequent encounter code (V93.04XD, V93.04XS) for follow-up care after the initial treatment.
