ICD-10 Code for Pneumoconiosis
Also indexed as (due to) (inhalation of)
The ICD-10-CM code for pneumoconiosis is J64 — Unspecified pneumoconiosis. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for pneumoconiosis with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
J64 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
Which pneumoconiosis code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 16 codes under Pneumoconiosis. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.
