Pneumonia due to Hemophilus influenzae (J14) ICD-10-CM
The J14 code range covers pneumonia due to hemophilus influenzae 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.
- Bronchopneumonia due to H. influenzae
Code First
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation.
Code Also
A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
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.

About the J14 Code Range
J14 is the ICD-10 code used specifically for pneumonia caused by Hemophilus influenzae, a type of bacterial lung infection. This code helps healthcare providers document and classify cases where this particular bacteria is responsible for pneumonia.
This code covers infections known by synonyms such as bronchopneumonia caused by Haemophilus influenzae or Haemophilus influenzae pneumonia, which describe the same condition affecting the lungs due to this bacterium. When medical coders see terms like these in a patient’s record, they can accurately link the diagnosis to ICD-10 code J14. This ensures that the documentation precisely reflects the bacterial cause of pneumonia, distinguishing it from other types like viral pneumonia or pneumonia from tuberculosis. Using J14 supports clear and specific communication for clinical care and billing related to bacterial lung infections involving Hemophilus influenzae.
