Centrilobular emphysema. J43.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM J43.2 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of J43.2 - other international versions of ICD-10 J43.2 may differ.
The first thing to remember is that emphysema is a type of COPD. It starts with a structural change in the anatomy. I believe the best code is J44.9 because J44 is Other COPD.
The ICD code J982 is used to code Pneumomediastinum Pneumomediastinum (from Greek pneuma - "air", also known as mediastinal emphysema) is pneumatosis (abnormal presence of air or other gas) in the mediastinum.
Emphysema (atrophic) (bullous) (chronic) (interlobular) (lung) (obstructive) (pulmonary) (senile) (vesicular) J43.9 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code J43.9 Emphysema, unspecified
Centriacinar emphysema is the most common type of pulmonary emphysema mainly localized to the proximal respiratory bronchioles with focal destruction and predominantly found in the upper lung zones. The surrounding lung parenchyma is usually normal with untouched distal alveolar ducts and sacs.
Panlobular emphysema (PLE) is a condition that affects the lungs. Emphysema is the medical term for damage to the air sacs within the lungs. It is one of two conditions that come under the umbrella of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the other being chronic bronchitis.
Smoking is the main cause of centrilobular emphysema. Smoking cigarettes causes 85 to 90 percent of all COPD cases. The toxic chemicals released by cigarettes: irritate and weaken the lungs.
ICD-10 | Centrilobular emphysema (J43. 2)
ICD-10 code J43. 1 for Panlobular emphysema is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
Centrilobular emphysema appeared to be mainly a disease of the upper lobe and the apices within the upper and lower lobes. In contrast, panlobular emphysema was a more or less diffuse process within lobes and lungs with mild preferential involvement of the lower lobe.
Generally, pulmonary emphysema is classified into three types related to the lobular anatomy: centrilobular emphysema, panlobular emphysema, and paraseptal emphysema.
Emphysema is one type of COPD disease. It damages the air sacs in the lungs, making it progressively harder for the body to get the oxygen it needs. The term COPD also covers chronic bronchitis and asthma. A person with emphysema has COPD, but a person with COPD may not necessarily have emphysema.
A doctor may need to differentiate between the three main types of pulmonary emphysema: Centrilobular (proximal acinar): Affects the more central regions of the lungs. Paraseptal (distal acinar): Affects the outer regions of the lungs. Panlobular (panacinar): Affects all areas of the lungs.
The two main types are panacinar emphysema and centrilobular, sometimes called proximal acinar, emphysema. In panacinar emphysema the enlargement of airspaces is distributed throughout the acinus and involves the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveolar sacs.
The term centrilobular means that the disease occurs in the center of the functional units of the lungs, called the secondary pulmonary lobules. In a different type of emphysema, called panlobular emphysema, the damage begins in tissues throughout the lungs simultaneously.
J43. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J43.
Pulmonary emphysema can be classified by the location and distribution of the lesions. Pulmonary emphysema is a disorder affecting the alveoli (tiny air sacs) of the lungs. The transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs takes place in the walls of the alveoli.
Clinical Information. A condition of the lung characterized by increase beyond normal in the size of air spaces distal to the terminal bronchioles, either from dilatation of the alveoli or from destruction of their walls.
A subcategory of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd). It occurs in people who smoke and suffer from chronic bronchitis. It is characterized by inflation of the alveoli, alveolar wall damage, and reduction in the number of alveoli, resulting in difficulty breathing.
A subcategory of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd).
Treatment is based on whether your symptoms are mild, moderate or severe. Treatments include inhalers, oxygen, medications and sometimes surgery to relieve symptoms and prevent complications . Enlargement of air spaces distal to the terminal bronchioles where gas-exchange normally takes place.

Emphysema (diffuse) (chronic) due to inhalation of chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors. Obliterative bronchiolitis (chronic) (subacute) due to inhalation of chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors. Pulmonary fibrosis (chronic) due to inhalation of chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors. Type 1 Excludes.
J43.2 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Centrilobular emphysema . 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:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) and chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD), among others, is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by chronically poor airflow. It typically worsens over time. The main symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, and sputum production.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code J43.2 and a single ICD9 code, 492.8 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Pneumomediastinum (from Greek pneuma - "air", also known as mediastinal emphysema) is pneumatosis (abnormal presence of air or other gas) in the mediastinum. First described in 1819 by René Laennec, the condition can result from physical trauma or other situations that lead to air escaping from the lungs, airways, or bowel into the chest cavity.
