About J11.0

J11.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for influenza due to unidentified influenza virus with pneumonia. It belongs to category J11 (influenza due to unidentified influenza virus), block J09-J18 (influenza and pneumonia) and chapter 10 (diseases of the respiratory system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within J11 (influenza due to unidentified influenza virus), J11.0 is specifically for influenza due to unidentified influenza virus with pneumonia. Related codes cover with other respiratory manifestations (J11.1), with gastrointestinal manifestations (J11.2) and with other manifestations (J11.8).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: J11.00 (pneumonia) and J11.08 (pneumonia).

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