In ICD-10-CM the classification of Respiratory Failure (J96) includes “acute (J96. 0-)”, “chronic” (J96.
Chronic respiratory failure is a condition that results in the inability to effectively exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen, and induces chronically low oxygen levels or chronically high carbon dioxide levels.
In chronic respiratory acidosis, the PaCO2 is elevated above the upper limit of the reference range, with a normal or near-normal pH secondary to renal compensation and an elevated serum bicarbonate levels (ie, >30 mEq/L). Acute respiratory acidosis is present when an abrupt failure of ventilation occurs.
Metabolic alkalosis is defined as a disease state where the body's pH is elevated to greater than 7.45 secondary to some metabolic process.
Since respiratory failure can be hypoxic, hypercapnic, or both, acidosis is not an integral portion of the ICD-10 code for unspecified respiratory failure, but it would be an integral part of the ICD-10 code for hypercapnic respiratory failure.

A disorder characterized by abnormally high acidity (high hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues. A pathologic condition of acid accumulation or depletion of base in the body. The two main types are respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis, due to metabolic acid build up.
An abnormally high acidity of the blood and other body tissues. Acidosis can be either respiratory or metabolic.
The two main types are respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis, due to metabolic acid build up. A state due to excess retention of carbon dioxide in the body. Acid base imbalance resulting from an accumulation of carbon dioxide secondary to hypoventilation.
Increased acidity in the blood secondary to acid base imbalance. Causes include diabetes, kidney failure and shock. Metabolic acidosis characterized by the accumulation of lactate in the body.
It may occur spontaneously or in association with diseases such as diabetes mellitus, leukemia, or liver failure. Acidosis caused by accumulation of lactic acid more rapidly than it can be metabolized; may occur spontaneously or in association with diseases such as diabetes mellitus, leukemia, or liver failure.
The Code Description for M35.02 changed from Sicca syndrome with lung involvement to Sjogren syndrome with lung involvement and added the following ICD-10-CM codes to replace the deleted code R05 – cough effective 10/01/21 per the Annual ICD-10-CM Update.
Effective for DOS on or after 10/01/2019, added R06.83 to the list of ICD-10 Codes That Support Medical Necessity.
Added D02.3 to Gr 1 to be consistent with other related LCD Billing and Coding Article.
Bronchitis and pneumonitis due to chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors
In order to be considered for reimbursement by Medicare, respiratory therapy services must be fully documented in the medical records. The documentation must clearly indicate that the services rendered were reasonable and medically necessary.
