D86 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for sarcoidosis, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as D86.0, D86.1, D86.2, and D86.3.

Specific Coding for SarcoidosisOverview

Non-specific codes like D86 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • Use D86.0 for Sarcoidosis of lung

  • Use D86.1 for Sarcoidosis of lymph nodes

  • Use D86.2 for Sarcoidosis of lung with sarcoidosis of lymph nodes

  • Use D86.3 for Sarcoidosis of skin

  • D86.8 for Sarcoidosis of other sites

  • Use D86.81 for Sarcoid meningitis

  • Use D86.82 for Multiple cranial nerve palsies in sarcoidosis

  • Use D86.83 for Sarcoid iridocyclitis

  • Use D86.84 for Sarcoid pyelonephritis

  • Use D86.85 for Sarcoid myocarditis

  • Use D86.86 for Sarcoid arthropathy

  • Use D86.87 for Sarcoid myositis

  • Use D86.89 for Sarcoidosis of other sites

  • Use D86.9 for Sarcoidosis, unspecified

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to D86: its own notes plus those printed at block D80-D89 and Chapter 3. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

From Block D80-D89 Certain disorders involving the immune mechanism applies to 83 codes
  • defects in the complement system
  • immunodeficiency disorders, except human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease
  • sarcoidosis

Excludes1

Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

From Block D80-D89 Certain disorders involving the immune mechanism applies to 83 codes
  • autoimmune disease (systemic) NOS (M35.9)
  • functional disorders of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (D71-)

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

From Block D80-D89 Certain disorders involving the immune mechanism applies to 83 codes
  • human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease (B20)
From Chapter 3 (D50-D89) Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism applies to 324 codes

Excludes1 1

These codes carry an Excludes1 note naming D86: they are not reported together with it, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

Code First 1

These codes say to code first a condition named in the note, and D86 is one of the conditions named.

  • J84.170 Interstitial lung disease with progressive fibrotic phenotype in diseases classified elsewhere
    sarcoidosis (D86.-)

Code Also 1

These codes say D86 may also be needed to fully describe the condition. The note gives no sequencing direction.

Clinical InformationClinical

  • Sarcoidosis

    an idiopathic systemic inflammatory granulomatous disorder comprised of epithelioid and multinucleated giant cells with little necrosis. it usually invades the lungs with fibrosis and may also involve lymph nodes, skin, liver, spleen, eyes, phalangeal bones, and parotid glands.

Patient EducationClinical

Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis is a condition in which groups of cells in your immune system form small, red, and swollen (inflamed) lumps. These lumps are called granulomas. They can form in any organ in the body. But they most commonly affect the lungs and lymph nodes in the chest. Over time, sarcoidosis can cause permanent scarring of organs.

Questions About D86Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for sarcoidosis?

D86 is the ICD-10-CM category for sarcoidosis, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is D86 (Sarcoidosis) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for sarcoidosis, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for sarcoidosis need a more specific code from this category, such as D86.0, D86.1, and D86.2.

Can D86 be reported with M35.9?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block D80-D89, which applies to D86, lists "autoimmune disease (systemic) NOS (M35.9)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
