ICD-10-CM Code J84.10
Pulmonary fibrosis, unspecified

BILLABLE
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

J84.10 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code J8410 is used to code Pulmonary fibrosis

Pulmonary fibrosis (literally "scarring of the lungs") is a respiratory disease in which scars are formed in the lung tissues, leading to serious breathing problems. Scar formation, the accumulation of excess fibrous connective tissue (the process called fibrosis), leads to thickening of the walls, and causes reduced oxygen supply in the blood. As a consequence patients suffer from perpetual shortness of breath.

ICD 9 Code: 516.31

A chest X-ray demonstrating pulmonary fibrosis. By history, the pulmonary fibrosis is thought to be due to amiodarone.

MS-DRG Mapping

  • DRG Group #196-198 - Interstitial lung disease with MCC.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Postinflammatory pulmonary fibrosis (approximate match)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code J84.10 and a single ICD9 code, 515 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
