ICD-10/J69.1

J69.1 ICD-10-CM Code: Pneumonitis due to inhalation of oils and essences

Billing Status: YES. This is a valid, specific, and billable ICD-10-CM reference.

Inpatient Payment Groups (MS-DRG)

MS-DRGs this diagnosis helps define, as principal or secondary, per the CMS ICD-10-CM/PCS MS-DRG Definitions Manual v43.0 (FY2026), Appendix B.

  • MS-DRG 177 — RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS AND INFLAMMATIONS WITH MCC (MDC 04)
  • MS-DRG 178 — RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS AND INFLAMMATIONS WITH CC (MDC 04)
  • MS-DRG 179 — RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS AND INFLAMMATIONS WITHOUT CC/MCC (MDC 04)

A diagnosis appearing in a group's logic does not by itself determine the DRG assigned to a stay; the grouper uses the full claim.

Risk Adjustment (CMS-HCC)

Payment categories this diagnosis maps to under CMS-HCC V28, payment year 2026.

  • HCC 282 — Aspiration and Specified Bacterial Pneumonias (supersedes HCC 283)

Other models: CMS-HCC V22 HCC 114

Risk scores depend on the enrollee's full accepted diagnosis set and segment; a category mapping alone does not determine payment.

Code Set: Valid FY2026 and FY2027. FY2026 took effect October 1, 2025.
