ICD-10 Code for Rhinorrhea
The ICD-10-CM code for rhinorrhea is J34.89 — Other specified disorders of nose and nasal sinuses. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for rhinorrhea with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
J34.89 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
Which rhinorrhea code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 3 codes under Rhinorrhea. 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.
By type
| cerebrospinal | G96.01 | Cranial cerebrospinal fluid leak, spontaneous |
Index terms and codes are reproduced from the official ICD-10-CM FY2027 release. The Alphabetic Index is a finding aid — a code must always be verified in the Tabular List before it is reported. Data sources
