J84.84 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of other interstitial lung diseases of childhood. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Other interstitial lung diseases of childhood

  • Use J84.841 for Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use J84.842 for Pulmonary interstitial glycogenosis - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use J84.843 for Alveolar capillary dysplasia with vein misalignment - BILLABLE CODE

Patient Education


Interstitial Lung Diseases

Interstitial lung disease is the name for a large group of diseases that inflame or scar the lungs. The inflammation and scarring make it hard to get enough oxygen. The scarring is called pulmonary fibrosis.

Breathing in dust or other particles in the air is responsible for some types of interstitial lung diseases. Specific types include:

  • Black lung disease among coal miners, from inhaling coal dust
  • Farmer's lung, from inhaling farm dust
  • Asbestosis, from inhaling asbestos fibers
  • Siderosis, from inhaling iron from mines or welding fumes
  • Silicosis, from inhaling silica dust

Other causes include autoimmune diseases or occupational exposures to molds, gases, or fumes. Some types of interstitial lung disease have no known cause.

Treatment depends on the type of exposure and the stage of the disease. It may involve medicines, oxygen therapy, or a lung transplant in severe cases.
