This page explains how to code Hospital Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) in ICD10. Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is a type of nosocomial pneumonia that is contracted by a non-ventilated patient after at least 48 hours of being admitted to a hospital.
Coding instructions
- HAP is indicated by combined coding three separate ICD10 codes:
- (1) Iatrogenic, complication of medical or surgical care NOS PLUS
- (2) One of the codes for specific types of organisms:
- (3) relevant Pathogens, possibly Infectious organism, unknown or an NOS
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
Additional Info
- If there is insufficient criteria for a Pneumonia, ventilator-associated (VAP) in ventilated patients with positive cultures, the patient may still have HAP.
- Patients from Grace Nursing Home Ward - even though this is considered a nursing home type ward, for patients who acquire a pneumonia and meet the HAP criteria code HAP.
