A patient with emphysema presents due to asthma and COPD. When you reference asthma with COPD, the Index refers coding professionals to code J44.9, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unspecified. However, COPD with emphysema is coded to J43.9, Emphysema, unspecified, per Coding ClinicFourth Quarter 2017. Category J44, Other chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, includes asthma with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, so we feel this code is a better reflection of the patient's diagnosis. However, there is an Excludes1 note at J44 that prohibits the reporting of code J44.9 with J43.9. How should we report asthma in a patient with COPD and emphysema?
Homework Answers
We should report asthma in a patient with COPD and emphysema as J44.9 because emphysema is a part of COPD only , so overall we can take it as asthma with COPD .

This exercise will give you experience in basic diagnostic coding for physicians' insurance claims. First list the ICM-10 CM code for the diagnosis, condition, problem, or other reason for the admission and/or encounter shown tin the medical record to be chiefly responsible for the services provided. Then list additional diagnostic codes that describe any coexisting conditions that affect patient care. Always assign codes to their highest level of specificity- the more digits, the more specific. Do not code probable, R/O,...
