J10 — Influenza due to other identified influenza virus

Not billable

Is J10 billable?

No — J10 is a non-billable header code. J10 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 9 billable codes beneath J10.

How is J10 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to J10. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

  • Influenza › A (bronchial) (epidemic) (respiratory (upper)) (unidentified influenza virus)
  • Influenza › B (bronchial) (epidemic) (respiratory (upper)) (unidentified influenza virus)
  • Influenza › C (bronchial) (epidemic) (respiratory (upper)) (unidentified influenza virus)

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with J10 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • influenza due to avian influenza virus (J09.X-)
  • influenza due to swine flu (J09.X-)
  • influenza due to unidentifed influenza virus (J11.-)

Use additional code — inherited from J09-J18

Report an additional code alongside J10 to fully describe the condition. J10 is sequenced first.

  • code, if applicable, to identify resistance to antimicrobial drugs (Z16.-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 10

The conditions below are not part of J10, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, J10 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
  • congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
  • injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • smoke inhalation (T59.81-)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from J09-J18

The conditions below are not part of J10, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, J10 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • allergic or eosinophilic pneumonia (J82)
  • aspiration pneumonia NOS (J69.0)
  • meconium pneumonia (P24.01)
  • neonatal aspiration pneumonia (P24.-)
  • pneumonia due to solids and liquids (J69.-)
  • congenital pneumonia (P23.9)
  • lipid pneumonia (J69.1)
  • rheumatic pneumonia (I00)

What codes fall under J10? (4)

How long has J10 existed?

J10 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.

Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.

Which codes are confused with J10?

ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with J10 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
