R09: Other symptoms and signs involving the circulatory and respiratory system

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

R09 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other symptoms and signs involving the circulatory and respiratory system. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1: never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

acute respiratory distress syndrome (J80)
respiratory arrest of newborn (P28.81)
respiratory distress syndrome of newborn (P22.0)
respiratory failure (J96.-)
respiratory failure of newborn (P28.5)

Other codes that can never be billed with R09

Their own Excludes1 notes name this code, so the conflict is not listed above.

J90Pleural effusion, not elsewhere classified
J94Other pleural conditions
J96Respiratory failure, not elsewhere classified
R06Abnormalities of breathing
T71Asphyxiation
