Other specified alveolar and parietoalveolar pneumonopathies
- Short description: Alveol pneumonopathy NEC.
- ICD-9-CM 516.8 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 516.8 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).
- You are viewing the 2012 version of ICD-9-CM 516.8.
