About J95
J95 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified. It belongs to block J95 (intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified) and chapter 10 (diseases of the respiratory system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 9 subcodes must be used instead.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: J95.0 (complications), J95.1 (surgery), J95.2 (surgery), J95.3 (surgery), J95.4 (anesthesia), J95.5 (stenosis), J95.6 (procedure), J95.7 (procedure) and 1 more.
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of J95, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: aspiration pneumonia (J69.-), emphysema (subcutaneous) resulting from a procedure (T81.82), hypostatic pneumonia (J18.2) and pulmonary manifestations due to radiation (J70.0-J70.1).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
