Other specified disorders of nose and nasal sinuses

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

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 4 more specific codes instead:

J34.81 Nasal mucositis (ulcerative)
J34.82 Nasal valve collapse (also a header)
J34.83 Odontogenic sinusitis (also a header)
J34.89 Other specified disorders of nose and nasal sinuses

What has happened to this code

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.

FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Other specified disorders of nose and nasal sinuses
