J95.7 — Accidental puncture and laceration of a respiratory system organ or structure during a procedure
J95.7 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for accidental puncture and laceration of a respiratory system organ or structure during a procedure. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
- postprocedural pneumothorax (J95.811)
Other codes that can never be billed with J95.7
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at J95.7. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading J95.7 alone.
- J95.6Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of a respiratory system organ or structure complicating a procedure
Risk adjustment
J95.7 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Code to one of these instead J95.7
