About J09.X2

J09.X2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for influenza due to identified novel influenza A virus with other respiratory manifestations. It belongs to category J09 (influenza due to certain identified influenza viruses), block J09-J18 (influenza and pneumonia) and chapter 10 (diseases of the respiratory system). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within J09.X, choose J09.X2 (with other respiratory manifestations) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: with pneumonia (J09.X1), with gastrointestinal manifestations (J09.X3) and with other manifestations (J09.X9).

Use an additional code, if applicable, for associated: pleural effusion (J91.8) and sinusitis (J01.-).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 193 (Simple Pneumonia and Pleurisy with MCC, relative weight 1.2825), DRG 194 (Simple Pneumonia and Pleurisy with CC, relative weight 0.7888), DRG 195 (Simple Pneumonia and Pleurisy without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6063), DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075) and DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), in MDC 04 (Diseases and Disorders of the Respiratory System) and MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 488.02 (influenza due to identified avian influenza virus with other respiratory manifestations) and 488.82 (influenza due to identified novel influenza A virus with other respiratory manifestations).
