- Billable — Valid for Submission
- MCC — Major Complication or Comorbidity
- Not Chronic
J10.01 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for influenza due to other identified influenza virus with the same other identified influenza virus pneumonia. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026) and groups to MS-DRG 177 through 179, 193 through 195. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a major complication or comorbidity (MCC) and places an inpatient stay in the highest severity level of its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 129 closely related codes. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Influenza and Pneumonia (except that caused by tuberculosis).
