J95 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as J95.00, J95.01, J95.02, and J95.03.

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to J95: 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.

On J95 itself
  • aspiration pneumonia (J69.-)
  • emphysema (subcutaneous) resulting from a procedure (T81.82)
  • hypostatic pneumonia (J18.2)
  • pulmonary manifestations due to radiation (J70.0-J70.1)
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)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
  • congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
  • injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • smoke inhalation (T59.81-)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)

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)
  • history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891)
  • occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31)
  • tobacco dependence (F17.-)
  • tobacco use (Z72.0)

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).

Questions About J95Overview

Is J95 a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified need a more specific code from this category, such as J95.00, J95.01, and J95.02.
