481Pneumococcal pneumonia [Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia]
- Legacy / Not Valid for Submission
- Replaced October 1, 2015
481 is a legacy ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for pneumococcal pneumonia [Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia]. It was valid on U.S. claims through September 30, 2015 and cannot be reported for services on or after October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM replaced the ICD-9 code set. Under the CMS General Equivalence Mappings, it maps to 2 ICD-10-CM candidates: J13 and J18.1.

Information for Patients
Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an infection in one or both of the lungs. It causes the air sacs of the lungs to fill up with fluid or pus. It can range from mild to severe, depending on the type of germ causing the infection, your age, and your overall health.

Questions About 481
Is 481 (pneumococcal pneumonia [Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia]) still a valid code?
No. This code belonged to ICD-9-CM, which the United States retired after September 30, 2015. Claims with dates of service on or after October 1, 2015 must use ICD-10-CM codes, such as J13 and J18.1.
What is the ICD-10 replacement for 481?
The General Equivalence Mappings list 2 ICD-10-CM candidates for this code: J13 (Pneumonia due to Streptococcus pneumoniae) and J18.1 (Lobar pneumonia, unspecified organism). Each match is approximate, so the right choice depends on what the documentation supports.
What did 481 mean?
In the final ICD-9-CM release, this code described pneumococcal pneumonia [Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia]. It sat in block 481 Pneumococcal pneumonia [Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia] under Diseases of the respiratory system (460–519).
Why does 481 map to more than one ICD-10 code?
ICD-10-CM is more specific than ICD-9-CM. The detail packed into this single legacy code was split across J13 and J18.1, so the General Equivalence Mappings list every candidate rather than forcing one. The correct target is the one the documentation supports.
