There is no specific ICD10 diagnosis code for CAP. Instead, a pneumonia is a CAP if it doesn't meet the criteria for either a HAP (Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in ICD10) or VAP (Pneumonia, ventilator-associated (VAP)).
ICD10s to consider coding to represent a CAP
- Pneumonia, bacterial
- Pneumonia, fungal/yeast
- Pneumonia, viral
- Aspiration pneumonitis/pneumonia
- Pneumonia, NOS
- Influenza pneumonia: Since this code includes identification of the organism, there is no need for a pathogen be combined with it.
- See Influenza in ICD10 for further info
PLUS
- relevant Pathogens, possibly Infectious organism, unknown or an NOS
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- Pneumonia, ventilator-associated (VAP)
- Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in ICD10
- Aspiration pneumonitis/pneumonia
- Pneumonia, NOS
- Influenza pneumonia-See Influenza in ICD10 for further information
