J10.0 — Influenza due to other identified influenza virus with pneumonia
Is J10.0 billable?
No — J10.0 is a non-billable header code. J10.0 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 3 billable codes beneath J10.0.

- Influenza › C (bronchial) (epidemic) (respiratory (upper)) (unidentified influenza virus)
Code also
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether J10.0 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- associated lung abscess, if applicable (J85.1)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from J10
The conditions below can never be reported together with J10.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 10
Report an additional code alongside J10.0 to fully describe the condition. J10.0 is sequenced first.
Use additional code — inherited from J09-J18
Report an additional code alongside J10.0 to fully describe the condition. J10.0 is sequenced first.
- code, if applicable, to identify resistance to antimicrobial drugs (Z16.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 10

- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- 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)

- neoplasms (C00-D49)
- smoke inhalation (T59.81-)
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)

How long has J10.0 existed?
J10.0 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.
