2023 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code J62.8

Pneumoconiosis due to other dust containing silica

2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Billable/Specific Code

• J62.8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
• The 2023 edition of ICD-10-CM J62.8 became effective on October 1, 2022.
• This is the American ICD-10-CM version of J62.8 - other international versions of ICD-10 J62.8 may differ.

• Pneumoconiosis due to silica
• Silicosis

• A form of pneumoconiosis resulting from inhalation of dust containing crystalline form of silicon dioxide, usually in the form of quartz. Amorphous silica is relatively nontoxic.
• An occupational lung disorder caused by the inhalation of silica dust. It results in the inflammation and scarring of the upper lobes of the lungs. It may be an acute or chronic disorder. In the acute form, patients develop shortness of breath, fever, and cyanosis. In the chronic form patients, develop progressive shortness of breath.

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