ICD-10-CM Code J04.0
Acute laryngitis

BILLABLE
Billable Code

| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

J04.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of acute laryngitis. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code J040 is used to code Laryngitis

Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx. It causes hoarse voice or temporary complete loss of the voice because of irritation to the vocal folds (vocal cords). Dysphonia is the medical term for a vocal disorder, of which laryngitis is one cause.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Acute laryngitis without mention of obstruction (exact match)

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 464.00 was previously used, J04.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
