2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code J60

Coalworker's pneumoconiosis

2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Billable/Specific Code Adult Dx (15-124 years)

• J60 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
• The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J60 became effective on October 1, 2021.
• This is the American ICD-10-CM version of J60 - other international versions of ICD-10 J60 may differ.

• J60 is applicable to adult patients aged 15 - 124 years inclusive.

• Anthracosis
• Coal workers' pneumoconiosis

• A chronic lung disorder characterized by deposition of coal dust in the lung parenchyma leading to the formation of black nodules and emphysema. It occurs in coal miners.
• A diffuse parenchymal lung disease caused by accumulation of inhaled carbon or coal dust. The disease can progress from asymptomatic anthracosis to massive lung fibrosis. This lung lesion usually occurs in coal miners, but can be seen in urban dwellers and tobacco smokers.
• A form of pneumoconiosis caused by inhalation of dust that contains both carbon and crystalline silicon dioxide. These foreign matters induce fibrous nodule formation in the lung.

• 196 Interstitial lung disease with mcc
• 197 Interstitial lung disease with cc
• 198 Interstitial lung disease without cc/mcc
