T26 — Burn and corrosion confined to eye and adnexa
Not billable
Is T26 billable?
No — T26 is a non-billable header code. T26 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 60 billable codes beneath T26.

How long has T26 existed?
T26 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
