*Mainly, ~~this code is~~ used when ~~it's believed an infectious~~ pneumonia ~~is present,~~ but ~~even~~ the ~~''type''~~ of organism is not ~~known.~~

Pneumonia, NOS should be used when there is a presumed pneumonia but the team is unsure what kind of organism is involved (bacteria, virus, fungus). So simply not having an organism from culture doesn't necessarily mean that Pneumonia, NOS should be used. If, for example, the team is assuming that it's a bacterial pneumonia (and treating it as such), but doesn't know which bacterium, then use Pneumonia, bacterial + Infectious organism, unknown

*The diagnosis of VAP '~~''[[~~Pneumonia, ~~ventilator-associated~~ (~~VAP~~)]]'~~'' supercedes this code.~~

*To code hospital-acquired pneumonia NOS, ~~link this code with '''[[Iatrogenic~~, ~~complication of medical or surgical care NOS]]'''~~

**Without that other code, it represents a CAP.

== Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition ==

*[[Eosinophilic pulmonary disease (pulmonary eosinophilia), NOS]]

== Candidate [[Combined ICD10 codes]] ==

*[[Iatrogenic, complication of medical or surgical care NOS]] ~~-- add this~~ to make viral hospital-acquired pneumonia

*Add [[Iatrogenic, complication of medical or surgical care NOS]] to make viral hospital-acquired pneumonia
