The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

ICD-10 Code for Pulmonary fibrosis, unspecified- J84. 10- Codify by AAPC.
To break it down phonetically: pulmonary means lung and fibrosis means scar tissue, so basically the name pulmonary fibrosis translates to 'scarring in the lungs. ' Beyond the problem scars present, pulmonary fibrosis impacts how you breathe and get oxygen into the blood.
Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. This thickened, stiff tissue makes it more difficult for your lungs to work properly. As pulmonary fibrosis worsens, you become progressively more short of breath.
Mayo Clinic defines Pulmonary Fibrosis as lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. If the scarring is an imaging finding then that will be integral to the actual condition of fibrosis, so only code J84. 10 will be needed.
There are over 200 different types of PF and in most cases, there's no known cause.
There are two categories of NSIP: cellular and fibrotic. Fibrotic NSIP is the type that is associated with pulmonary fibrosis and occurs when the inflammation of the alveoli walls is accompanied by tissue thickening and scarring. Prognosis for both types of NSIP is usually very positive.
No, pulmonary fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are not the same. However, they are similar in some ways. Pulmonary fibrosis and COPD are both lung diseases that get worse over time. Both conditions can make breathing difficult.
COPD is an umbrella term for several types of lung diseases, including emphysema. What they have in common are damaged air sacs or collapsed tubes that may leave you feeling breathless. IPF, on the other hand, is when your lung tissue gets scarred and stiff.
Some interstitial lung diseases don't include scar tissue. When an interstitial lung disease does include scar tissue in the lung, we call it pulmonary fibrosis.
Interstitial lung disease refers to a group of about 100 chronic lung disorders characterized by inflammation and scarring that make it hard for the lungs to get enough oxygen. The scarring is called pulmonary fibrosis. The symptoms and course of these diseases may vary from person to person.
Causes of pulmonary fibrosis include environmental pollutants, some medicines, some connective tissue diseases, and interstitial lung disease. Interstitial lung disease is the name for a large group of diseases that inflame or scar the lungs. In most cases, the cause cannot be found.
