2
A period cannot be grouped from these.
Barred as primary

CMS rejects these in the primary position.
Where these codes group
47 of the 53 codes in J09-J18 group to MMTA - Respiratory, but the range is not uniform — it spreads across 2 clinical groups. A further 2 are assigned no clinical group at all, which means a 30-day period cannot be grouped from them.
