| ICD-10: | J67 |
| Short Description: | Hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to organic dust |
| Long Description: | Hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to organic dust |
| Status: | Not Valid for Submission |
| Version: | ICD-10-CM 2023 |
| Code Classification: |
J67 is a non-specific and non-billable ICD-10 code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to organic dust. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2023 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 for Hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to organic dust
Non-specific codes like J67 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10 codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to organic dust:
- BILLABLE CODE - Use J67.0 for Farmer's lung
- BILLABLE CODE - Use J67.1 for Bagassosis
- BILLABLE CODE - Use J67.2 for Bird fancier's lung
- BILLABLE CODE - Use J67.3 for Suberosis
- BILLABLE CODE - Use J67.4 for Maltworker's lung
- BILLABLE CODE - Use J67.5 for Mushroom-worker's lung
- BILLABLE CODE - Use J67.6 for Maple-bark-stripper's lung
- BILLABLE CODE - Use J67.7 for Air conditioner and humidifier lung
- BILLABLE CODE - Use J67.8 for Hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to other organic dusts
- BILLABLE CODE - Use J67.9 for Hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to unspecified organic dust
Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to this diagnosis code:
Includes
IncludesThis note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
- allergic alveolitis and pneumonitis due to inhaled organic dust and particles of fungal, actinomycetic or other origin
Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 ExcludesA type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- pneumonitis due to inhalation of chemicals, gases, fumes or vapors J68.0
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.
