Restrictive Lung Diseases
Supportive oxygen therapy is the main treatment for restrictive lung disease. The main treatment for restrictive lung disease is supportive oxygen therapy. Oxygen therapy helps people with lung diseases get enough oxygen, even when their lungs cannot fully expand. Some people may need oxygen only at night or after exerting themselves.
Restrictive lung diseases may be caused by the destruction of distal lung parenchyma due to infiltrates from inflammation, toxins, and mechanisms yet to be elucidated (intrinsic conditions) as well as extra parenchymal conditions (extrinsic causes).
The most common causes of obstructive lung disease are:
ICD-10-CM J41. 8 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 190 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with mcc.
Restrictive lung disease, a decrease in the total volume of air that the lungs are able to hold, is often due to a decrease in the elasticity of the lungs themselves or caused by a problem related to the expansion of the chest wall during inhalation.

ICD-10-CM Code for Other disorders of lung J98. 4.
While both types can cause shortness of breath, obstructive lung diseases (such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder) cause more difficulty with exhaling air, while restrictive lung diseases (such as pulmonary fibrosis) can cause problems by restricting a person's ability to inhale air.
Inorganic dust exposure (eg, silicosis, asbestosis, talc, pneumoconiosis, berylliosis, hard metal fibrosis, coal worker's pneumoconiosis, chemical worker's lung) may cause restrictive lung disease.
Other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung fieldICD-10 code R91. 8 for Other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung field is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
According to Coding Clinic, chronic restrictive lung disease is assigned to code 518.89, Other diseases of lung, not elsewhere classified. It also says that chronic restrictive lung disease βis an ill-defined term, however, and should be used only when the condition cannot be described more specifically.β
9 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unspecified.
There is a new code related to COVID-19. U09. 9 (Post COVID-19 condition, unspecified) is a special purposes code with its own notes and Code First instructions.
1, the International Classification of Diseases code for low back pain β M54. 5 β will no longer exist in the ICD-10 listings. The more general code is being replaced by a series of codes related to LBP aimed at providing greater specificity around diagnosis.
Restrictive lung diseases are a category of extrapulmonary, pleural, or parenchymal respiratory diseases that restrict lung expansion, resulting in a decreased lung volume, an increased work of breathing, and inadequate ventilation and/or oxygenation.
Pulmonary diseases include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, pneumonia, and lung cancer.
To code for pulmonary involvement in sarcoidosis for example, ICD-9-CM code 135, sarcoidosis, is used along with 517.8, lung involvement in other diseases classified elsewhere.
The first code should be used if there is no known cause or disease associated with the pulmonary fibrosis, and the second code if there seems to be a cause or disease associated with the pulmonary fibrosis which is not captured by another pulmonary ICD-10-CM code.
A chronic and progressive lung disorder characterized by the loss of elasticity of the bronchial tree and the air sacs, destruction of the air sacs wall, thickening of the bronchial wall, and mucous accumulation in the bronchial tree.
Signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, productive cough, and chest tightness. The two main types of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are chronic obstructive bronchitis and emphysema. A disease of chronic diffuse irreversible airflow obstruction. Subcategories of copd include chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema.
A type of lung disease marked by permanent damage to tissues in the lungs, making it hard to breathe. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease includes chronic bronchitis, in which the bronchi (large air passages) are inflamed and scarred, and emphysema, in which the alveoli (tiny air sacs) are damaged.
J98.4 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Other disorders of lung . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically. See also:
