In simple words: This code is used when someone has a lung problem caused by vaping or using e-cigarettes.

Vaping-related disorder encompasses lung damage and injury linked to dabbing or electronic cigarette use.It is clinically identified as E-cigarette, or vaping, product use associated lung injury (EVALI). Use additional codes to specify manifestations like abdominal pain (R10.84), acute respiratory distress syndrome (J80), diarrhea (R19.7), drug-induced interstitial lung disorder (J70.4), lipoid pneumonia (J69.1), or weight loss (R63.4).

Example 1: A 20-year-old patient presents with shortness of breath, cough, and chest pain after using a vaping device containing THC oil. Imaging reveals lung injury consistent with EVALI. U07.0 is coded along with additional codes for the specific symptoms., A teenager is admitted to the hospital with severe respiratory distress after vaping nicotine products.Diagnosis confirms EVALI. U07.0 is coded, along with codes for respiratory distress and any other related conditions., A patient with a history of vaping presents with weight loss, fatigue, and lipoid pneumonia.After a thorough evaluation, the physician determines the pneumonia is related to vaping.U07.0 and the code for lipoid pneumonia (J69.1) are reported, along with a code for weight loss (R63.4) if clinically significant.

Documentation should include evidence of vaping or e-cigarette use, clinical findings related to lung injury (e.g., imaging, pulmonary function tests), and associated symptoms.Any additional diagnoses, such as respiratory distress, pneumonia, or other manifestations, should also be documented.

** It is crucial to distinguish between vaping-related lung injury (EVALI) and other respiratory conditions that may have similar symptoms.Thorough clinical evaluation and documentation are essential for accurate coding and reporting.
