J93.83 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other pneumothorax. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code J93 is used to code Pneumothorax

A pneumothorax (pneumo- + thorax; plural pneumothoraces) is an abnormal collection of air or gas in the pleural space that causes an uncoupling of the lung from the chest wall. Like pleural effusion (liquid buildup in that space), pneumothorax may interfere with normal breathing. It is often called collapsed lung, although that term may also refer to atelectasis.
