This page contains an ICD10 Coding Guideline for ICD10 collection. See ICD10 coding guidelines for similar pages.

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)).
