About J34

J34 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified disorders of nose and nasal sinuses. It belongs to block J30-J39 (other diseases of upper respiratory tract) and chapter 10 (diseases of the respiratory system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 6 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: J34.0 (nose), J34.1 (sinus), J34.2 (septum), J34.3 (turbinates), J34.8 (sinuses) and J34.9 (sinuses).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of J34, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: varicose ulcer of nasal septum (I86.8).

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