Other interstitial pulmonary diseases with fibrosis

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 3 more specific codes instead:

J84.10 Pulmonary fibrosis, unspecified
J84.11 Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (also a header)
J84.17 Other interstitial pulmonary diseases with fibrosis in diseases classified elsewhere (also a header)

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2007 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.

FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Other interstitial pulmonary diseases with fibrosis
