any healthcare settingZ codes are for use in any healthcare setting. Z codes may be used as either a first-listed (principal diagnosis code in the inpatient setting) or secondary code, depending on the circumstances of the encounter.

Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, fevers, chills, chest pain, headache, sweating, and weakness. Inflammation of any part, segment or lobe, of the lung parenchyma. Inflammation of the lungs with consolidation and exudation. Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung, usually caused by an infection.
This may cause a decrease in the amount of oxygen that blood can absorb from air breathed into the lung. Pneumonia is usually caused by infection but may also be caused by radiation therapy, allergy, or irritation of lung tissue by inhaled substances. It may involve part or all of the lungs.
pneumonia due to solids and liquids ( J69.-) aspiration pneumonia due to solids and liquids ( J69.-) neonatal aspiration pneumonia ( P24.-) (noo-mone-ya) an inflammatory infection that occurs in the lung. A disorder characterized by inflammation focally or diffusely affecting the lung parenchyma.
You can also get pneumonia by accidentally inhaling a liquid or chemical. People most at risk are older than 65 or younger than 2 years of age, or already have health problems. If you have pneumonia, you may have difficulty breathing and have a cough and a fever. A physical exam and history can help determine if you have pneumonia. Chest x-rays and blood tests can help determine what is wrong. Treatment depends on what made you sick. If bacteria are the cause, antibiotics should help. Viral pneumonia may get better with rest and drinking liquids.preventing pneumonia is always better than treating it. The best preventive measures include washing your hands frequently, not smoking, and wearing a mask when cleaning dusty or moldy areas. There is a vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia, a bacterial infection which accounts for up to a quarter of all pneumonias.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J18.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
An acute, acute and chronic, or chronic inflammation focally or diffusely affecting the lung parenchyma, due to infections (viruses, fungi, mycoplasma, or bacteria), treatment (e.g. Radiation), or exposure (inhalation) to chemicals.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.

J18 Pneumonia, unspecified organism. J69 Pneumonitis due to solids and liquids. There also are a few types of pneumonia found in Chapter 1, such as: Pneumonia due to anthrax A22.1, Pneumonia due to Chickenpox B01.2 and Pneumonia due to Candidiasis B37.1.
Exposure to tobacco smoke in the prenatal period (P96.81)
Lobar pneumonia typically involves a consolidation of one or more lobes of the lung. The most common cause of lobar pneumonia is Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). Other common types of bacteria responsible for “lobar” pneumonia are: Klebsiella pneumoniae. Legionella pneumophila.
It should be noted that as of September 2019 a new code U07.0, Vaping-related disorder, was released. A diagnosis of Pneumonia may be assigned as a principal diagnosis and one should review carefully the circumstances of admission for a hospital inpatient encounter.
When we think of “Pneumonia” we think about the lungs . The lungs are the primary organ of the respiratory system. Humans have two lungs (right and left) with a total of 5 sections or lobes. The left lung has two lobes and the right lung has three. The lung air sacs become inflamed when we have Pneumonia. This inflammation can be caused by bacteria, virus, fungi, parasites or even via aspiration. Bacterial and fungal pneumonia is most often identified through a sputum culture.
NOTE: When a respiratory condition is described as occurring in more than one site and is not specifically indexed, it should be classified to the lower anatomic site e.g. tracheobronchitis to bronchitis in J40. For coding conditions from Chapter 10, the following applies to all codes J00-J99:
J69.1, Pneumonitis due to inhalation of oils and essences; includes lipoid pneumonia
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J12.82 became effective on October 1, 2021.
J11.82 Influenza due to unidentified influenza virus with myocarditis. J11.83 Influenza due to unidentified influenza virus with otitis media. J11.89 Influenza due to unidentified influenza virus with other manifestations. J12 Viral pneumonia, not elsewhere classified.
Reporting codes for encounters for circumstances other than a disease or injury: Codes Z00-Z99 are provided so that codes for past diseases or other histories can be reported for the patient. Family history codes may also be pertinent for outpatient encounters. If a past history or family history has an impact or influences care and/or treatment in any way the history should be reported. HIA does have a document for “Z” codes that should ALWAYS be reported regardless of patient type unless there are specific facility guidelines that advise otherwise. Here are a few examples:
Chronic conditions should be reported on each visit when they are under treatment or are systemic medical conditions. Chronic systemic conditions should be reported even in the absence of intervention or further evaluation.
The final impression by the physician is COPD exacerbation. In this case, a code for the COPD exacerbation would be reported as well as “Z” codes for personal history of pneumonia, history of smoking, and family history of lung cancer and colon cancer.
If secondary diagnoses are not reported, then HCC’s are not captured for the claim. This may impact reimbursement and quality measure statistics. Below are several websites that are available and that go into great detail about what HCC’s are, how they are calculated, and why they are important.
Chronic systemic conditions should be reported even in the absence of intervention or further evaluation. These conditions will affect patients for the rest of their lives or most of their lives and require continuous clinical monitoring and evaluation. Certain medications are not to be used if a patient has a certain condition or can’t be mixed when taking a certain medication. This should always be part of the physician’s medical decision making process.
