Exposure to ignition or melting of other clothing and apparel (X06) ICD-10-CM
The X06 code range covers exposure to ignition or melting of other clothing and apparel with 17 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 12 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
- exposure to uncontrolled fire in building or structure X00
- exposure to uncontrolled fire, not in building or structure X01
- exposure to controlled fire in building or structure X02
- exposure to controlled fire, not in building or structure X03

7th Character Note
Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.

About the X06 Code Range
These codes describe exposure when plastic jewelry or other clothing and apparel catches fire or melts.
The subdivisions separate plastic jewelry that catches fire (X06.0) from jewelry that melts (X06.1). Other clothing and apparel follow the same split: catching fire (X06.2) or melting (X06.3). Each subdivision has a seventh character for initial encounter (A), subsequent encounter (D), or sequela (S).
