Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the lungs due to an allergic reaction to inhaled substances. The ICD10 code for Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis is J67. The corresponding ICD9 code is 495. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), also known as extrinsic allergic alveolitis, is an inflammatory lung disease caused by an allergic reaction to inhaled substances. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code to identify this condition. The ICD-10 code for hypersensitivity pneumonitis is J67.
ICD-10 is a standardized system used by healthcare professionals to classify and code diseases, injuries, and other health conditions. The J67 code specifically represents hypersensitivity pneumonitis and helps in the accurate documentation and billing of this condition.
On the other hand, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) was the previous version of the coding system. The corresponding ICD-9 code for hypersensitivity pneumonitis is 495. This code was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10.
It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015. Therefore, healthcare providers now primarily use the ICD-10 code (J67) to classify and document hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
These codes assist in tracking and analyzing epidemiological data, facilitating research, and enabling efficient communication between healthcare professionals. They also support accurate reimbursement for medical services provided to patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
