Pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classified (J82) ICD-10-CM
The J82 code range covers pulmonary eosinophilia, not elsewhere classified with 6 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 4 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 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the J82 range.
Chronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia
Chronic inflammatory disorder of the lungs characterized by the presence of eosinophils in the interalveolar septa and alveolar spaces and peripheral blood eosinophilia. Chest x-rays reveal peripheral infiltrates. Approximately half of the patients have history of asthma or atopic disease. Signs and symptoms include fever, dyspnea, cough, and weight loss. Following treatment with corticosteroids, the eosinophilic infiltrates in the lungs disappear, resulting in dramatic clinical improvement.
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.
About the J82 Code Range
Pulmonary eosinophilia means eosinophils collect in the lungs because of inflammation or another disease process.
Within J82, J82.8 separates chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (J82.81) from acute eosinophilic pneumonia (J82.82). It also distinguishes eosinophilic asthma (J82.83) from other pulmonary eosinophilia (J82.89).
