Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

E898.0 is the code for burns from clothing catching fire. Since pajamas are considered clothing, this is the most appropriate code to use. Codes E895 and E898.1 would not be accurate as they are for burns from other specific sources, such as fire and hot liquids. E898 is a catch-all code for accidents not otherwise specified, but using the more specific E898.0 is more appropriate in this case.
