ICD-10 Code for Lightning
Also indexed as (effects) (stroke) (struck by)
The ICD-10-CM code for lightning is T75.00 — Unspecified effects of lightning. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for lightning with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
T75.00 cannot be submitted on a claim. It is a header code, so a more specific code from the list below is required.
Which lightning code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 4 codes under Lightning. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.

Index terms and codes are reproduced from the official ICD-10-CM FY2027 release. The Alphabetic Index is a finding aid — a code must always be verified in the Tabular List before it is reported. Data sources
