For these conditions, ICD-10 uses two base code categories: J43 for emphysema and J44 for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). All codes require a fourth digit. However, without additional testing, it is unlikely that a primary care physician can clearly differentiate emphysema from chronic bronchitis. Per the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health, “Most people who have COPD have both emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Thus, the general term ‘COPD’ is more accurate.” 1 In that case, J44.9, “COPD, unspecified,” should be used. (See “ Emphysema/COPD codes .”)
Ready for some good news? The common cold is still the common cold and has a simple, three-digit ICD-10 code: J00, “Acute nasopharyngitis.” ICD-10 even includes “common cold” in the description.
Each of the acute sinusitis codes requires a fifth digit that differentiates “acute” from “acute recurrent.”. The chronic codes have only four digits. (See “ Sinusitis codes .”) If the cause of the sinusitis is known, add a code from B95-B97, “Bacterial and viral infectious agents,” to identify the infectious agent.
These codes include acute (with or without obstruction) and chronic codes, but there are no acute recurrent codes. The unspecified codes do not differentiate between the larynx and trachea but use the term “Supraglottitis.” (See “Larynx, trachea, and epiglottis codes .”)
Infective rhinitis defaults to the “Acute nasopharyngitis” (common cold) J00 code, discussed earlier. However, chronic rhinitis gets its own code, J31.0. Vasomotor and allergic rhinitis also have their own code series (J30). (See “ Rhinitis and other codes related to the nose .”)
The history suggests it is not related to the new pet or to food. You cannot use the “Other allergic rhinitis” code because it is used when the etiology is known but not listed in ICD-10. Therefore, you select J30.9, “Allergic rhinitis, unspecified.”. This is an example of the correct use of an “unspecified” code.
However, if in your clinical judgment the condition is caused by pollen, you need to document that judgment in the record and then assign code J30.1, “Allergic rhinitis due to pollen.”. Remember that ICD-10 does not prohibit you from using your clinical judgment, but your documentation must support your judgment.
