Code Classification

  • Diseases of the respiratory system
    (J00–J99)
    • Other respiratory diseases principally affecting the interstitium
      (J80-J84)
      • Pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classified
        (J82)

J82 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classified. 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 Pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classified

Non-specific codes like J82 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classified:

  • J82.8 for Pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classified - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use J82.81 for Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use J82.82 for Acute eosinophilic pneumonia - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use J82.83 for Eosinophilic asthma - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use J82.89 for Other pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classified - BILLABLE CODE

Clinical Classification

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Type 2 Excludes

Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
  • pulmonary eosinophilia due to aspergillosis B44
  • pulmonary eosinophilia due to drugs J70.2 J70.4
  • pulmonary eosinophilia due to specified parasitic infection B50 B83
  • pulmonary eosinophilia due to systemic connective tissue disorders M30 M36
  • pulmonary infiltrate NOS R91.8

Patient Education


Eosinophilic Disorders

Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell. They help fight off infections and play a role in your body's immune response. They can also build up and cause inflammation.

Normally your blood doesn't have a large number of eosinophils. Your body may produce more of them in response to:

  • Allergic disorders
  • Skin conditions
  • Parasitic and fungal infections
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Some cancers
  • Bone marrow disorders

In some conditions, the eosinophils can move outside the bloodstream and build up in organs and tissues. This can happen in many different parts of the body, including the esophagus, heart, lungs, blood, and intestines. Treatment of eosinophilic disorders can vary, depending on the cause and which part of the body is affected. Steroids are often part of the treatment.

Lung Diseases

When you breathe, your lungs take in oxygen from the air and deliver it to the bloodstream. The cells in your body need oxygen to work and grow. During a normal day, you breathe nearly 25,000 times. People with lung disease have difficulty breathing. Millions of people in the U.S. have lung disease. If all types of lung disease are lumped together, it is the number three killer in the United States.

The term lung disease refers to many disorders affecting the lungs, such as asthma, COPD, infections like influenza, pneumonia and tuberculosis, lung cancer, and many other breathing problems. Some lung diseases can lead to respiratory failure.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
