500Coal workers' pneumoconiosis
- Legacy / Not Valid for Submission
- Replaced October 1, 2015
500 is a legacy ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for coal workers' pneumoconiosis. 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, its ICD-10-CM replacement is J60 (Coalworker's pneumoconiosis), flagged as a direct match. While the code set was active, the Medicare Code Editor applied the adult diagnoses (age 15 through 124) edit to this code.
