ICD-10 code for Silo-fillers' disease

The ICD-10-CM code for Silo-fillers' disease is J68.8 (Other respiratory conditions due to chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on J68.8.

Within J68, choose J68.8 (Other respiratory conditions due to chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: bronchitis and pneumonitis due to chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors (J68.0), pulmonary edema due to chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors (J68.1), upper respiratory inflammation due to chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors, not elsewhere classified (J68.2), other acute and subacute respiratory conditions due to chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors (J68.3), chronic respiratory conditions due to chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors (J68.4) and unspecified respiratory condition due to chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors (J68.9).

Code first: (T51-T65) to identify cause.

Use an additional code to identify associated respiratory conditions, such as: acute respiratory failure (J96.0-).
