Pneumoconiosis due to other inorganic dusts (J63) ICD-10-CM
The J63 code range covers pneumoconiosis due to other inorganic dusts with 8 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 7 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
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.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the J63 range.
Aluminosis
A disorder associated with the inhalation of aluminum dust or fumes in lung tissue secondary to chronic exposure.
Bauxite Fibrosis
A progressive pulmonary disease caused by exposure to bauxite fumes, which are a byproduct of the smelting of bauxite to produce corundum.
Berylliosis
A form of pneumoconiosis caused by inhaled rare metal BERYLLIUM or its soluble salts which are used in a wide variety of industry including alloys, ceramics, radiographic equipment, and vacuum tubes. Berylliosis is characterized by an acute inflammatory reaction in the upper airway leading to BRONCHIOLITIS; PULMONARY EDEMA; and pneumonia.
Graphite Fibrosis of Lung
A disorder associated with chronic exposure to inhaled dust from crystallized carbon.
Mixed Mineral Dust Pneumoconiosis
Pneumoconiosis caused by the inhalation of mixed mineral dust particles.
Siderosis
A form of pneumoconiosis resulting from inhalation of iron in the mining dust or welding fumes.
Stannosis
A disorder associated with chronic exposure to inhaled tin oxide dust or fumes.
About the J63 Code Range
Pneumoconiosis here means lung disease caused by inorganic dusts. This category sits among lung diseases caused by external agents.
The subdivisions distinguish named dust-related conditions: J63.0 is aluminosis of the lung, J63.1 is bauxite fibrosis of the lung, and J63.2 is berylliosis. Separate codes identify graphite fibrosis of the lung (J63.3), siderosis (J63.4), and stannosis (J63.5). J63.6 covers pneumoconiosis due to other specified inorganic dusts.
