This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 6 more specific codes instead:

  • J34.0 Abscess, furuncle and carbuncle of nose
  • J34.1 Cyst and mucocele of nose and nasal sinus
  • J34.2 Deviated nasal septum
  • J34.3 Hypertrophy of nasal turbinates
  • J34.8 Other specified disorders of nose and nasal sinuses (also a header)
  • J34.9 Unspecified disorder of nose and nasal sinuses

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
