About coding organizing pneumonia
The ICD-10-CM code for organizing pneumonia is J84.89 (Other specified interstitial pulmonary diseases). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on J84.89.
Within J84.8, choose J84.89 (Other specified interstitial pulmonary diseases) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (J84.81), adult pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (J84.82), Surfactant mutations of the lung (J84.83) and other interstitial lung diseases of childhood (J84.84).
Don't report J84.89 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (J84.116), idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonitis (J84.113), lipoid pneumonia, exogenous or unspecified (J69.1) and lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (J84.2).
Code first , if applicable: poisoning due to drug or toxin (T51-T65 with fifth or sixth character to indicate intent), for toxic pneumonopathy and underlying cause of pneumonopathy, if known.
