Coalworker's pneumoconiosis (J60) ICD-10-CM
The J60 code range covers coalworker's pneumoconiosis with 1 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 1 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Inclusion Terms
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
- Anthracosilicosis
- Anthracosis
- Black lung disease
- Coalworker's lung
Type 1 Excludes
A 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.

Anthracosilicosis
A form of pneumoconiosis caused by inhalation of dust that contains both CARBON and crystalline SILICON DIOXIDE. These foreign matters induce fibrous nodule formation in the lung.
About the J60 Code Range
The ICD-10 code J60 is specifically used to identify Coalworker's pneumoconiosis, a lung disease caused by the inhalation of coal dust. This code helps accurately document and classify this occupational lung condition.
Coalworker's pneumoconiosis, sometimes called Coal workers' pneumoconiosis, Anthracosilicosis, or pneumoconiosis caused by silica, is a form of pneumoconiosis linked to long-term exposure to coal dust and silica particles. The ICD-10 code for this disease ensures precise coding in medical records and billing related to lung diseases due to external dust agents. Using J60 helps healthcare providers and coders recognize the specific cause and nature of the lung impairment distinct from other pneumoconioses or respiratory conditions. This code is critical for occupational health tracking and proper treatment documentation for affected coalworkers.
