Other interstitial pulmonary diseases
ICD-10 J84 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of other interstitial pulmonary diseases.
The ICD-10 Level 1 Category code J84 encompasses a variety of interstitial pulmonary diseases that do not fall under more specific classifications. These conditions are characterized by inflammation and scarring of the lung tissue, which can lead to progressive respiratory impairment. Commonly included diseases under this category are hypersensitivity pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis, and sarcoidosis, among others. The clinical significance of accurately coding J84 lies in its ability to reflect the complexity of interstitial lung diseases, which can have significant implications for patient management and treatment strategies.

J84 includes various interstitial pulmonary diseases such as hypersensitivity pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, and other unspecified interstitial lung diseases.
J84 codes should be used when a patient is diagnosed with interstitial lung disease that does not fit into more specific categories, and when there is sufficient clinical documentation to support the diagnosis.
Documentation must include a clear diagnosis supported by clinical findings, imaging results, and any relevant laboratory tests or biopsies that confirm the presence of interstitial lung disease.
