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 9 more specific codes instead:

  • J98.0 Diseases of bronchus, not elsewhere classified (also a header)
  • J98.1 Pulmonary collapse (also a header)
  • J98.2 Interstitial emphysema
  • J98.3 Compensatory emphysema
  • J98.4 Other disorders of lung
  • J98.5 Diseases of mediastinum, not elsewhere classified (also a header)
  • J98.6 Disorders of diaphragm
  • J98.8 Other specified respiratory disorders
  • J98.9 Respiratory disorder, unspecified

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.
