About J63

J63 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for pneumoconiosis due to other inorganic dusts. It belongs to block J60-J70 (lung diseases due to external agents) and chapter 10 (diseases of the respiratory system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: J63.0 (lung)), J63.1 (lung)), J63.2 (Berylliosis), J63.3 (lung)), J63.4 (Siderosis), J63.5 (Stannosis) and J63.6 (dusts).

Don't report J63 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: pneumoconiosis with tuberculosis, any type in A15 (J65).

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