Billable/Specific Code

J64 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM J64 became effective on October 1, 2020.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of J64 - other international versions of ICD-10 J64 may differ.

Type 1 Excludes

Type 1 Excludes Help

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as J64. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Pneumoconiosis

Clinical Information

A diffuse parenchymal lung disease caused by inhalation of dust and by tissue reaction to their presence. These inorganic, organic, particulate, or vaporized matters usually are inhaled by workers in their occupational environment, leading to the various forms (asbestosis; byssinosis; and others). Similar air pollution can also have deleterious effects on the general population.
An occupational lung disorder caused by inhalation of dust particles. It is characterized by bilateral interstitial lung infiltrates. Representative examples include asbestosis, silicosis, anthracosis, and talc pneumoconiosis.
Any of a group of lung diseases resulting from inhalation of particles of industrial substances.

ICD-10-CM J64 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v38.0):

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