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

Submit one of these 2 more specific codes instead:

J81.1 Chronic pulmonary edema

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 Pulmonary edema
