J82 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classified, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as J82.81, J82.82, J82.83, and J82.89. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Other specified and unspecified lower respiratory disease.

Specific Coding for Pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classifiedOverview

Non-specific codes like J82 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • J82.8 for Pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classified

  • Use J82.81 for Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia

  • Use J82.82 for Acute eosinophilic pneumonia

  • Use J82.83 for Eosinophilic asthma

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

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to J82: its own notes plus those printed at Chapter 10. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

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.

  • pulmonary eosinophilia due to specified parasitic infection (B50-B83)
  • pulmonary eosinophilia due to systemic connective tissue disorders (M30-M36)
  • pulmonary infiltrate NOS (R91.8)
From Chapter 10 (J00-J99) Diseases of the respiratory system applies to 366 codes
  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)

Use Additional Code

Add a second code, after this one, to fully describe the condition.

From Chapter 10 (J00-J99) Diseases of the respiratory system applies to 366 codes
  • code, where applicable, to identify:
  • exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22)
  • exposure to tobacco smoke in the perinatal period (P96.81)

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

From Chapter 10 (J00-J99) Diseases of the respiratory system applies to 366 codes
  • When a respiratory condition is described as occurring in more than one site and is not specifically indexed, it should be classified to the lower anatomic site (e.g. tracheobronchitis to bronchitis in J40).

Clinical InformationClinical

  • Pulmonary Eosinophilia

    a condition characterized by infiltration of the lung with eosinophils due to inflammation or other disease processes. major eosinophilic lung diseases are the eosinophilic pneumonias caused by infections, allergens, or toxic agents.
