The ICD code J45 is used to code Asthma Asthma (from the Greek ἅσθμα, ásthma, "panting") is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction and bronchospasm. Common symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J45. 902 became effective on October 1, 2021.
It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, wheezing, and dyspnea (dyspnea, paroxysmal). Asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. Your airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways become sore and swollen.
Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, and rapid breathing. An attack may be brought on by pet hair, dust, smoke, pollen, mold, exercise, cold air, or stress. A chronic respiratory disease manifested as difficulty breathing due to the narrowing of bronchial passageways.
A chronic respiratory disease manifested as difficulty breathing due to the narrowing of bronchial passageways. A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (respiratory hypersensitivity), airway inflammation, and intermittent airway obstruction.

In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
Refer Chapter 10 (Diseases of the respiratory system (J00- J99) in ICD-10-CM for Asthma guidelines.
Asthma causes symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing or chest tightness. Severity differs in each person.
Need to code both asthma and COPD because asthma with additional specificity can be coded along with COPD.
What happens to our Lungs (Center of respiratory system)during asthma attack: During asthma attack, muscles around the airway gets tighten and the lining inside the airways becomes swollen and produce extra mucus. This makes airway to become narrow and partially block airflow in and out of air sacs.
This type of asthma occurs more than 2 times in a week with regular breathing difficulties to an extent of disturbing daily activities. Moderate persistent. These patients suffer from symptoms daily and last for several days. Severe persistent.
Their symptoms may completely disappear after few years. Experts say this may be due to the growth of airways along with body growth. Cough variant. It is so called because of the main symptom, dry cough. Mild intermittent.
Inhaler : – Medicine filled inhalers are given to patient to use comfortably at any place when symptoms occurs suddenly.
Asthma is treated with two kinds of medicines: quick-relief medicines to stop asthma symptoms and long-term control medicines to prevent symptoms. Asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. Your airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs.
If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways become sore and swollen. In the United States, about 20 million people have asthma. Nearly 9 million of them are children.
cystic fibrosis ( E84.-) tobacco dependence ( F17.-) A chronic disease in which the bronchial airways in the lungs become narrowed and swollen, making it difficult to breathe. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, and rapid breathing.
Your airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways become sore and swollen. That makes them very sensitive, and they may react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find irritating.

A chronic respiratory disease manifested as difficulty breathing due to the narrowing of bronchial passageways. A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (respiratory hypersensitivity), airway inflammation, and intermittent airway obstruction.
A fifth code, J45.9 (Other and unspecified ...) is reserved for forms of the condition that do not fit neatly into the established categories, such as asthmatic bronchitis, childhood asthma, or exercise-induced bronchospasm.
So, you would document the most severe form of an asthma attack, status asthmaticus, with the highest fifth digit, 2. (The J45.90 code set, however, features an exception to that rule, reserving 9 as the sixth digit when the condition is uncomplicated.)
Scenario: Your provider assesses a patient with asthma who is currently experiencing episodes of acute exacerbation. The patient suffers from symptoms at least twice a week, limiting the patient's daily activities somewhat. The patient also uses an inhaler more than twice a week, but not on a daily basis. Based on these symptoms, and the results of a pulmonary function test (PFT) that records a forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) >80%, your provider diagnoses an acute exacerbation of a mild persistent type of asthma.
Holle notes that "the use of an additional code such as Z72.0 (Tobacco use), F17- (Nicotine use...), or Z77.22 (Contact with and [suspected] exposure to environmental tobacco smoke [acute] [chronic]) is very important if there is an exposure to smoke or if the patient smokes - and some teens do!"
Unlike many ICD-10 codes, the J45 code set uses the severity of the symptoms rather than the etiology of the condition as its subdivisions. This is consistent with the current asthma guidelines determined by the NHLBI, which classifies the conditions this way.
