502Pneumoconiosis due to other silica or silicates
- Legacy / Not Valid for Submission
- Replaced October 1, 2015
502 is a legacy ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for pneumoconiosis due to other silica or silicates. 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 J62.8 (Pneumoconiosis due to other dust containing silica), flagged as an approximate match.

Information for Patients
Interstitial Lung Diseases
Interstitial lung disease is the name for a large group of diseases that inflame or scar the lungs. The inflammation and scarring make it hard to get enough oxygen. The scarring is called pulmonary fibrosis.

Questions About 502
Is 502 (pneumoconiosis due to other silica or silicates) 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 its replacement J62.8.
What is the ICD-10 replacement for 502?
The General Equivalence Mappings crosswalk this code to ICD-10-CM J62.8 (Pneumoconiosis due to other dust containing silica). The match is flagged as approximate, so confirm it against the clinical documentation before use.
What did 502 mean?
In the final ICD-9-CM release, this code described pneumoconiosis due to other silica or silicates. It sat in block 502 Pneumoconiosis due to other silica or silicates under Diseases of the respiratory system (460–519).
