ICD-10 Code J63.2 – Berylliosis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code J63.2 – Berylliosis
What it is
Berylliosis is a lung disease caused by exposure to beryllium dust or fumes. It may be acute or chronic, and chronic disease can resemble sarcoidosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings include cough, dyspnea, fatigue, and abnormal chest imaging in a patient with confirmed beryllium exposure.
When to use this code
Use J63.2 when the provider documents berylliosis, chronic beryllium disease, or beryllium-related lung disease. The record should support a causal link to beryllium exposure. If the note only mentions exposure without disease, do not assign this code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonspecific pneumonitis, asthma, or simple occupational exposure without documented lung disease. Check documentation if the diagnosis is unclear.
Coding tip
Code the condition only when the provider links respiratory disease to beryllium exposure in the medical record.
