Pneumoconiosis due to other silica or silicates
  • 2015
  • Billable Thru Sept 30/2015
  • Non-Billable On/After Oct 1/2015

  • ICD-9-CM 502 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 502 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).
Convert to ICD-10-CM: 502 converts approximately to:
  • 2015/16 ICD-10-CM J62.8 Pneumoconiosis due to other dust containing silica
Approximate Synonyms
  • Pneumoconiosis due to silica
  • Pneumoconiosis due to talc
  • Silicosis
  • Talcosis
Clinical Information
  • A form of pneumoconiosis resulting from inhalation of dust containing crystalline form of silicon dioxide, usually in the form of quartz. Amorphous silica is relatively nontoxic
  • An occupational lung disorder caused by the inhalation of silica dust. It results in the inflammation and scarring of the upper lobes of the lungs. It may be an acute or chronic disorder. In the acute form, patients develop shortness of breath, fever, and cyanosis. In the chronic form patients, develop progressive shortness of breath
Applies To
  • Pneumoconiosis due to talc
  • Silicotic fibrosis (massive) of lung
  • Silicosis (simple) (complicated)
