503Pneumoconiosis due to other inorganic dust
- Legacy / Not Valid for Submission
- Replaced October 1, 2015
503 is a legacy ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for pneumoconiosis due to other inorganic dust. 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 7 ICD-10-CM candidates: J63.0, J63.1, J63.2, J63.3, J63.4, J63.5, and J63.6.
Code Identity
Convert 503 to ICD-10-CM
Based on the final CMS General Equivalence Mappings (GEMs), 503 crosswalks to the following ICD-10-CM codes. When more than one candidate is listed, pick the code the documentation supports.

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 503
Is 503 (pneumoconiosis due to other inorganic dust) 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 J63.0, J63.1, and J63.2.
What is the ICD-10 replacement for 503?
The General Equivalence Mappings list 7 ICD-10-CM candidates for this code: J63.0 (Aluminosis (of lung)), J63.1 (Bauxite fibrosis (of lung)), J63.2 (Berylliosis), J63.3 (Graphite fibrosis (of lung)), J63.4 (Siderosis), J63.5 (Stannosis), and J63.6 (Pneumoconiosis due to other specified inorganic dusts). Each match is approximate, so the right choice depends on what the documentation supports.
What did 503 mean?
In the final ICD-9-CM release, this code described pneumoconiosis due to other inorganic dust. It sat in block 503 Pneumoconiosis due to other inorganic dust under Diseases of the respiratory system (460–519).
Why does 503 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 J63.0, J63.1, J63.2, J63.3, J63.4, J63.5, and J63.6, so the General Equivalence Mappings list every candidate rather than forcing one. The correct target is the one the documentation supports.
