ICD-10 codes for pneumonia
Pneumonia coding follows the organism: J18.9 when unknown, organism-specific categories when documented. In inpatient coding especially, the gap between J18.9 and an organism-specific code matters for severity and reimbursement.
Notat skriver notatet — og foreslår disse koder
Den samme FactsContext™-motor, der extractor koder her, gør hele konsultationen til et struktureret klinisk notat, hvor hver kode er knyttet til den sætning, der understøtter den. Du gennemgår og underskriver hvert notat.

Pneumonia ICD-10 codes
Start with the primary code, then move to a more specific related code when the documentation supports it.
| Kode | Beskrivelse | System |
|---|---|---|
J18.9 | Pneumonia, unspecified organism | ICD-10-CM |
J13 | Pneumonia due to Streptococcus pneumoniae | ICD-10-CM |
J15.9 | Unspecified bacterial pneumonia | ICD-10-CM |
J12.9 | Viral pneumonia, unspecified | ICD-10-CM |
J18.1 | Lobar pneumonia, unspecified organism | ICD-10-CM |
J69.0 | Pneumonitis due to inhalation of food and vomit (aspiration pneumonia) | ICD-10-CM |
Sådan vælger du den rigtige kode
Code the organism when cultures or antigen tests identify it — J13 for pneumococcus, J15.- for other bacteria, J12.- for viral. "Community-acquired pneumonia" without an organism is J18.9. A documented aspiration event points to J69.0, which is a different clinical entity, not a J18 variant.
Dokumentationseksempel
“Productive cough, fever 38.6°C, right-sided pleuritic pain for 2 days. Crackles right base, CRP 156. Chest X-ray: right lower lobe consolidation. CURB-65 = 1. Urinary pneumococcal antigen positive. Amoxicillin started, oral, community management.”

FAQ
What is the ICD-10 code for pneumonia?
The ICD-10 code for pneumonia is J18.9 (Pneumonia, unspecified organism). Related codes include J13, J15.9, J12.9. Confirm the most specific code against the documented clinical detail before billing.
When can I code better than J18.9?
When the organism is documented — positive culture, PCR, or antigen test. A positive pneumococcal antigen, for example, supports J13 instead of J18.9.
How is aspiration pneumonia coded?
J69.0, pneumonitis due to inhalation of food and vomit. It is not coded from the J12–J18 pneumonia block.
Can AI upgrade my pneumonia coding specificity?
Notat extracts microbiology results and imaging findings as clinical facts, so when the organism is in the note, the organism-specific code is suggested with its evidence.
