This code signifies a second-degree burn affecting multiple areas of an unspecified wrist and hand. These burns involve the epidermis and dermis, presenting with blistering, pain, and redness, but without full-thickness tissue destruction.

Apply this code for follow-up care of a patient with a second-degree burn to multiple sites of the wrist and hand. This includes subsequent evaluations, wound care, or management of complications related to the initial burn injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "second degree" and "multiple sites" of the wrist and hand.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, used for ongoing care after the initial treatment.
• Confirm the burn is to the wrist and hand; other body sites require different codes.
