Pneumoconiosis due to other specified inorganic dusts J63. 6 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J63. 6 became effective on October 1, 2021.
J62. 8 - Pneumoconiosis due to other dust containing silica. ICD-10-CM.
The primary pneumoconioses are: Abestosis – caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. Silicosis – caused by inhaling silica dust. Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (commonly referred to as CWP or black lung) – caused by inhaling coal mine dust.
Z77.090ICD-10 code Z77. 090 for Contact with and (suspected) exposure to asbestos is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Asbestosis (as-bes-TOE-sis) is a chronic lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. Prolonged exposure to these fibers can cause lung tissue scarring and shortness of breath.
ICD-Code J44. 9 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This is sometimes referred to as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) or chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD).
Types of pneumoconiosis It's caused by breathing in coal dust. Another is brown lung, which comes from working around dust from cotton or other fibers. Other types of dusts that can cause pneumoconiosis include silica and asbestos.
Depending upon the type of dust, the disease is given different names: Coalworker's pneumoconiosis (also known as coal miner's lung, black lung or anthracosis) – coal, carbon. Aluminosis – Aluminium. Asbestosis – asbestos.
Pneumonia is one of the most common disease entities that requires hospitalization and eventually leads to death among pneumoconiosis patients and others suffering from chronic respiratory diseases [9].
Pneumoconiosis associated with tuberculosis A lung disease caused by breathing in particles of asbestos (a group of minerals that take the form of tiny fibers). Symptoms include coughing, trouble breathing, and chest pain caused by scarring and permanent damage to lung tissue.
How are asbestos-related diseases detected?Shortness of breath, wheezing, or hoarseness.A persistent cough that gets worse over time.Blood in the sputum (fluid) coughed up from the lungs.Pain or tightening in the chest.Difficulty swallowing.Swelling of the neck or face.Loss of appetite.Weight loss.More items...•
ICD-10 code R91. 1 for Solitary pulmonary nodule is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
J62.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of pneumoconiosis due to talc dust. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code J62.0 and a single ICD9 code, 502 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
